Types of Projects

Community Wells

Water wells serving entire communities, providing clean water access for drinking, cooking, and agriculture.

School Projects

Water, handwashing stations, bathrooms, and sanitation training at schools enable children to stay healthy and focused on learning.

Churches

Clean water access points hosted at churches that serve as gathering hubs for the community.

Healthcare Clinics and Hospitals

Providing clean water infrastructure at hospitals and clinics is critical for patient care, hygiene, and healthy communities.

American Families Served

Nearly 2 million Americans don’t have access to running water, and we’re doing our part to bridge that gap, right here at home.

And More

Occasionally, Paper for Water undertakes unique, one-off projects with our community partners. Examples include providing emergency water tanks during the pandemic for the Navajo Nation, hygiene kits for Haitian communities following the 2021 earthquake, or menstrual products for girls in Kenya, to reduce the number of school days missed.
