As a connector of resources and relationships, the Water Foundation knows water issues are best solved through collaboration. That’s why we strategize across sectors and geographies, working directly with the communities most impacted by water challenges and the most capable of addressing them. Together with the coalitions we convene, the advocates we trust, and the policymakers we work with to implement change, we search for innovative solutions to ensure water is clean, reliable, and affordable for all.
