The Wave is a movement of monthly givers who provide people with access to clean water. Together we’re creating a ripple effect that’s changing lives.
Access to clean water increases access to education, creates work opportunities, and significantly improves health conditions.

Waterboys
The first program of Waterboys brought NFL players together from across the league to meet the initial goal of funding 32 deep borehole wells in Tanzania to represent the 32 NFL teams. Since accomplishing that goal in February of 2018, Waterboys has more than surpassed that goal, serving 570,000 individuals clean water in East Africa and the United States.

Conquering Kili
Hiking Africa’s tallest mountain is no small feat. Neither is raising money to fund deep borehole wells. The Conquering Kili program empowers military veterans, clean water advocates, and athletes to tackle both challenges at once. Team up, and accept the challenge to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro and raise funds to provide clean water to Tanzanian communities in need.

Hometown H2O
Water access is not only an issue in developing countries. In many low-income, rural and tribal U.S. communities, access to safe and affordable water is not guaranteed. Hometown H2o focuses on providing clean water to American communities, households, and schools that lack access to this fundamental resource.
