Lack Safe Water
Every donation helps bridge the gap between thirst and health for millions.

Flexible Giving for Maximum Impact

NRF offers several specific water projects: a shallow well for £2,000, a borehole for £20,000, a handpump for £100, or water tanks in Yemen. You can also join The Stream from £5 a month.

But sometimes you simply want to give to clean water without choosing a specific project. That is what Water Charity is for.

Your donation goes into a flexible pool that NRF uses to fund whichever water projects need it most. It gives our teams the freedom to respond quickly, fill gaps, and allocate resources for maximum impact.

The Fuel Behind Every Water Project

Water Charity funds the work that falls between the cracks. Flexible funding turns a charity from reactive to proactive. Your Water Charity donation keeps NRF's entire water operation moving forward.

This is the title

A village in Kenya needs a well, but a donor has contributed £1,500 of the £2,000 cost. Water Charity covers the remaining £500 and the well is built without delay.

Immediate Response

An orphanage in Yemen urgently requires clean water. Water Charity allows NRF to respond immediately.

A Community of Change-Makers

Every contribution to Water Charity is strategically allocated to provide clean water where the need is most urgent across our global projects.

East Africa

Contributions towards shallow wells (£2,000) and deep boreholes (£20,000). Your donation may complete a partially funded well or cover maintenance costs.

Deep Boreholes

Giving Children a Future

Never Stops

A water well built today serves a village for 20 to 50 years. A handpump provides a family with clean water for years. Water tanks refilled this week keep children healthy until next week and the week after that.
Clean water enables everything that follows: health, education, food, livelihoods, dignity, and hope. There is no more powerful, more enduring, or more life-sustaining gift you can give.
