Some of us are lucky enough to indulge in travel as a passion, and some are able to see different cities and countries and meet different cultures through work trips. Not often enough do we take into consideration the footprint we leave on the planet and the environment while doing so.

W4W is a nonprofit organization established with a clear goal—to provide access to clean water for everyone who needs it. A secondary goal is to redefine how humanitarian aid is implemented.

W4W has conducted programs in over 40 countries resulting in clean water access to close to 4 million people worldwide.
