Wood for Water is an all-volunteer charity devoted to raising funds to provide a source of safe drinking water to people lacking access. Join us by donating so together we can help, one community at a time. 100% of your donation will be used to help communities that need clean water. The separate “Wood for Water Reservoir” provide the funds for tools, finishing materials and shipping.
11% of the world’s population lack access to clean water; 25% lack adequate sanitation. We partner with organizations that work with local communities to provide clean drinking water, teach about hygiene and sanitation, and how to maintain their systems.
We are so excited to partner with Cova, a robust organization that since 2008 has been helping communities in Central America gain access to clean drinking water. More than 85% of people in Central America are without access to safe water.
Cova is impressive because fully 98% of their installed systems continue to function over time, which is much higher than similar organizations. This is due in part to the system design and to the fact that communities have monthly surprise visits by a “Circuit Rider”, who travels on motorcycle with a tool box and backpack to test water and work with community members to test and maintain systems.
