The WaterCredit model

Small loans. Lasting change.

Many families waiting for safe water don't need charity — they need financing. WaterCredit provides small, affordable loans so families can fund their own water connections and toilets, choosing solutions that fit their lives.

And the model works: 98–99% of loans are repaid, 90% of borrowers are women, and every repaid loan can empower another family to get the water they need. So far, Water.org has reached 92 million+ people across 15 countries.

  1. A small, affordable loan goes to a family.

  2. The family funds its own water connection or toilet.

  3. The loan is repaid — 98–99% of loans are repaid.

  4. Every repaid loan can empower another family — and the cycle continues.

How WaterCredit works — follow the ring clockwise through the four steps.

200 million by 2030. Water.org's goal is to reach 200 million people with safe water and sanitation by 2030 — and every repaid loan moves that future a little closer.
