What does United Waters do?
United Waters is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing clean and safe drinking water to all people in need around the world.
How does United Waters operate?
We identify communities lacking access to clean water and either act independently or partner with local organizations to deliver water as quickly as possible and educate communities on sanitation practices. We also strive to respond efficiently to provide water after disasters. Additionally, we welcome any inquiries or information about where assistance is needed.
Where does United Waters work?
Our projects are primarily focused in underserved regions across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, but we are continually expanding our reach.
How you choose where to help?
First and foremost, we focus on global statistics to cover the most urgent needs. Additionally, we strive to respond promptly to news in order to assist regions affected by disasters and emergencies.
Where do you buy water?
In selecting water suppliers, we focus on quality, compliance with all necessary certifications, and cost. Additionally, we strive to support domestic producers, so we predominantly purchase water from Bulgaria.
How does United Waters ensure the sustainability of its projects?
We work closely with local communities to ensure they are trained and equipped to maintain the water systems long-term. We also conduct regular follow-ups and assessments.
Do you understand that providing bottled water is not a sustainable solution and does not solve the problem of water scarcity?
We need to address the problem here and now, as developing infrastructure takes a long time. Our primary task is to provide the population with drinking water, but we are also working on creating infrastructure in these countries.
What about its impact on the environment?
Our mission is to help the world, not hard it. That’s why we’re trying to do everything we can to protect the environment. For example, we use flexi bags to reduce the amount of plastic.
How can I donate to United Waters?
You can make a donation through our website via credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer. We also accept recurring donations.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, United Waters is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Are my donations secure?
Yes, the donation pages of our website are hosted on ‘https’ – an application which protects data securely. When you visit the page asking for card details, the ‘https’ padlock symbol will appear in your web browser’s address bar to indicate that information being entered is secure. We adhere to strict data protection protocols when processing supporters’ data.
How can I find where my money went?
85 cents of every dollar go directly towards purchasing and transporting water, while the rest covers administrative costs and advertising to raise awareness about the issue. After each shipment, we publish a report, and we also release our financial statements at the end of each year.
