Wood for Water is an all-volunteer charity devoted to raising funds to provide a source of clean 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.
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.
At first we invited neighbors, friends and family to donate at local events we hosted. We’ve expanded to invite anyone to donate to support us, from any location. We still hold special events at Ginkgo Arts in West Chester, schools or my wood shop for those near Chester County, Pennsylvania USA.
We are so excited to partner with EOS International, a robust organization that for 15 years 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.
EOS International 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 systems5
