£30 million raised and 5 million lives changed
in partnership with The One Foundation
In 2024 The One Foundation reached the incredible milestone of 5 million lives changed, but there is still more to be done to ensure lasting access to clean, safe water for all.
our projects
The One Foundation supports sustainable water and sanitation programmes for communities living in some of the most extreme poverty and in areas particularly vulnerable to the devastating impacts of climate change.
We work in both rural and urban environments, varying the approach to meet local needs.
This means we support projects ranging from handpump repair and upgrades, to district-wide piped water and sewer networks.
Our vision is simple: a world in which everyone has access to safe, clean water.
where we
operate
Over the 20+ years we’ve been funding water programmes, we’ve worked in almost 20 countries, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa, and currently The One Foundation is funding ongoing projects in 4 countries – Malawi, Kenya, Ghana and Rwanda.
In addition, 10% of The One Foundation’s annual funding is allocated to emergency response, whether in the wake of natural disaster or humanitarian crisis.
Most recently this funding has been deployed to the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine and the Turkey-Syria earthquake.
