Every day, Risi wakes early and walks four hours with her children to fetch dirty water that makes them sick. This daily journey steals their time, education and health. It traps them in a cycle of water poverty that's hard to escape.
This World Water Day, you can help change that. Your donation will bring clean water closer to Risi's doorstep and to families just like hers.
Donate by April 15, 2026, and every dollar you give will be doubled, thanks to a generous $20,000 matching gift from donors who believe no family should have to choose between clean water and a future.
Give the Gift of Water Today
For Risi, a mother of three in rural Uganda, every day begins the same way: heavy jerry cans, a four-hour walk, and water that isn't safe to drink.
Those four hours cost her everything.
Every hour walking is an hour she can't work. Without that income, her family doesn't eat and her daughters don't go to school.
The cycle repeats, day after day.
This World Water Day, your gift can end that walk for 2,441 people in Ibanda, bringing safe water to taps just steps from their doors.
Give the Gift of Water Today
Your gift before April 15 goes twice as far, thanks to a generous $20,000 match. That means:
Your $25 becomes $50
Your $50 becomes $100
Your $100 becomes $200
Your $250 becomes $500
Want to go further than a gift?
As a Water Champion, you become an advocate for communities like Risi's, sharing her story and inviting others to join the journey.
Together, your voices and networks can break the cycle of water poverty for more families across rural Uganda.
Risi walks four hours for water every day. A gift, a fundraiser, a story shared, can end Risi's walk.

The spring, the community's source of clean water, has been protected and construction of the gravity flow system has begun. But without storage tanks, the water stops before it reaches Risi's door. She keeps walking.
This World Water Day, your gift before April 15 can finish what's been started, reaching twice as many families with clean water.
