Getting clean water to the billions in the world without it is important to ensure that they are capable of having healthy, sustainable lives. You can't ask someone to be more careful about their environmental footprint when their basic needs aren't met.

You can do some research on your own, check out the How We Get There section of the Basic Needs Overview page, or ask for suggestions in our discussion forum.

Find out if the group needs money, materials, engineering knowledge, legal or other professional help.

Donate a day's worth of time or half a day's worth of wages to the group over the course of a year.
