In Lane County you turn on the kitchen tap and drink. Nobody writes that into the listing remarks. It is assumed.

That is not assumed everywhere. A portion of every sale funds a monthly gift to charity: water. That gift becomes a well, a tap, or a filter someone else will use for years.

We have given every month since 2012. Their page for Heart & Home keeps the current totals and the people served.

A house without safe water is not a home.

Why Water

We spend our days on Oregon wells, city water, and whether a house can close. The same need, unmet, is still ordinary in much of the world. A house without safe water is not a home.

charity: water funds community-owned projects and publishes each one with photos and GPS. Private donors cover their overhead, so 100% of public gifts go to water. That is why we picked them in 2012, and why we are still there.
