Our Disaster Response Program

Distributing Sawyer PointONE filters, both minis and bucket filters, wherever war or natural disaster impact access to safe drinking water.

Water By Women gladly and proudly collaborates with people of any faith who practice compassion and believe that clean water is a basic, God-given human right.

Spiritual yet Interfaith
