The WaterFoundation exists since the year 2000. The establishment of the foundation is an answer to the challenges of the 21stcentury. We know that water becomes ever more limited. We know that already today half of mankind has too little water. By the year 2050 two thirds of mankind are threatened with acute water shortages. We want to act.

As a foundation we are independent. No party politic, no denominational orders, no narrow-mindedness, no lobby, no profit motive. Positively expressed: We can organize ourselves lean. We speak with everyone. And we work also in areas, where cooperation is difficult because of the many years of existing hostilities.

And the complete official version: The WaterFoundation is a non-profit and charitable legal entity which helps people to self-help in regions with water shortages or polluted drinking water.
