INTRODUCTION

As an initiative of Water Charity, we do small but critical water and sanitation projects. Each one is a solution to a problem, costs no more than $500, and uses appropriate technology. We start them at once and complete them very quickly.

We work with Peace Corps Volunteers serving throughout the world, who assist people and organizations in or near the communities where they live or work to identify, implement, manage, and evaluate the projects.

Each project has a high impact, resulting in clean water and effective sanitation for individuals, families, and communities. We are flexible, and can react to emergencies.

We offer you, individuals and organizations alike, the opportunity to participate in our work, and fund these projects, in whole or in part.

However, we don't wait for donations to come in. We pre-fund these projects IMMEDIATELY!

We like simplicity, so that’s all there is to it.

ADOPT A PROJECT

If you would like to participate in the Appropriate Projects initiative, we invite your involvement.

Click on the PROJECTS tab and find a project you like. Then, we encourage you to fund it in full. In that way, you will be able to follow the project through, from start to finish, and gain the satisfaction that you have taken a meaningful step toward reducing death and disease.

If you are unable to fund an entire project, donations in any amount are accepted.

The Donate button below each project description is coded so that clicking on that button indicates to us which project you wish to support.

PROJECT SUBMISSION If you are a Peace Corps Volunteer and have a small water or sanitation project that has arisen from your community, that needs funding, and can be done at once, click the SUBMIT tab to read our simple guidelines and make your submission. We encourage and welcome follow-up projects.

We now accept applications from Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) and Peace Corps Response Volunteers (PCRVs) !
