A Child's Right is one of several nonprofit organizations currently working to provide assistance to people in desperate need of clean water and sanitation. Our services are very unique as we focus on a specific group of people in need: children in already severe living conditions and in impoverished communities with little access to potable water and clean living conditions. However, there are a few organizations currently doing solid, sustainable and truly innovative work on behalf of communities in need and we ask that if you cannot support our work, you please extend your assistance to one of these organizations as they are working tirelessly to provide clean water to those most in need.

Water 1st's mission is to serve families in the poorest communities in the world as they implement community-managed projects that integrate water supply, sanitation, and health education.

WaterAid is an international non governmental organisation dedicated exclusively to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world's poorest people. They work by helping local organisations set up low cost, sustainable projects using appropriate technology that can be managed by the community itself. They also seek to influence the policies of other key organisations, such as governments, to secure and protect the right of poor people to safe, affordable water and sanitation services.

Water For People helps people in developing countries improve their quality of life by supporting the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities and health and hygiene education programs. Their vision is a world where all people have access to safe drinking water and sanitation; a world where no one suffers or dies from a water- or sanitation-related disease.

The Council exists under a mandate from the United Nations. They are governed by a multi-stakeholder steering committee elected by the Council's members, combining the authority of the UN with the flexibility of an NGO and the legitimacy of a membership organisation. They focus exclusively on those people around the world who currently lack water and sanitation, with all their policies and work aimed only to serve those people. They have a special interest in sanitation and hygiene and emphasize the need to view water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) as an inseparable trinity for development.

The goal of the Blue Planet Run foundation is to raise money and awareness about the global water situation by conducting the longest relay run in history. The event will consist of an international team of 18 runners; they will sprint around the world for 100 days, 24 hours a day through 16 countries; they will activate the foundation's message all the while. The Foundation has already funded more than 40 projects in 12 countries. They expect to raise enough money to provide over 35,000 people with clean water while also raising awareness.

Founded in 2002, Ethos™ Water takes a unique approach to doing business -- it is the bottled water that helps children around the world get clean water. It's a powerfully simple concept...Water for Water. For every bottle purchased, Starbucks will contribute 5 cents for each sale of Ethos toward their goal of raising $10 million in the next 5 years to go directly to clean water projects in underdeveloped countries.

The charity supports water, sanitation and health projects worldwide. It also assists in providing water purifying tablets, water containers and hygiene packs to the victims of disasters, such as in times of major floods and earthquakes.

Thirst Relief strives to provide clean water to underserved areas and they work in conjunction with a worldwide distribution network of humanitarian relief organizations, missionaries, churches, and other tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations. In most cases, these trusted partners are already operating at the point of need, and provide the advantages of language understanding, cultural sensitivity, and established relationships with the beneficiaries. This highly integral distribution network is used to help identify clean drinking water needs, provide input to formulate the best pure water solution, and ultimately assist with the distribution and implementation of the clean water systems.

Global Water is an international non-profit, non-sectarian, and non-governmental humanitarian organization solely committed to the development of safe water-related projects around the world. To achieve this goal, Global Water has modified its mode of operation from an advisory, coordinating, and educational entity into an equipment-oriented project organization.

WSUP's mission is to advance the Millennium Development Goals for water, sanitation, and associated health benefits through multi-sector, stakeholder partnerships delivering sustainable, equitable, and affordable water and sanitation services to the urban poor in developing countries.

WaterPartners International is challenging the traditional approach to assisting people in developing countries. Their goals are to draw attention to the world's number one health problem, unsafe and inadequate water supplies, and to raise funds to help fight this immense problem--one community at a time. One major focus is to develop high quality, sustainable water projects - They use their expertise to foster high-quality, sustainable, community-level water supply projects. They promote innovative solutions that enable communities to take a leading role in solving their own water supply problems.

The End Water Poverty campaign is demanding that governments provide sanitation and water for the world's poorest people. They are calling for: One global action plan for sanitation and water monitored by one global task force; 70% of aid money for sanitation and water to be targeted at the poorest countries; Water resources to be protected and shared equitably

The Global Water Challenge is an initiative to save lives and reduce suffering in the developing world by providing safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene education to people who lack these basic services. Launched by a diverse coalition of corporations, foundations, and aid organizations, the GWC is a unique partnership to build healthy communities and provide sustainable solutions to ensure the availability of potable water for those in need. The goal of the GWC is to bring safe water and sanitation to millions by identifying and multiplying the solutions that work.

Water Advocates is the first US-based nonprofit organization dedicated solely to increasing American support for worldwide access to safe, affordable and sustainable supplies of drinking water and adequate sanitation. Their purpose is advocacy, not implementation of projects. Water Advocates works with all sectors of American society to increase public and private-citizen funding for effective water, sanitation and hygiene projects and initiatives internationally, particularly those characterized by strong community involvement.

Healing Waters International works to reduce water-related illnesses and deaths in developing countries by building self-sustaining projects that make safe drinking water accessible to the poor.
