What we provide
Our work transforms the lives of people living in vulnerable conditions and extreme poverty by supporting access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene awareness. We do this in a number of ways by:
Strengthening systems for the most marginalised communities.
- Developing tools and approaches that we advocate to large agencies and governments, to inspire the change that is needed for a water-secure world.
- Establishing collective water stewardship actions for use in corporate supply chains.
- Delivering a UK education programme to inspire people to value and protect the world’s most precious resource, and adopt a more sustainable approach to water.
We work collaboratively with our partners, other actors in the water, sanitation and hygiene sector and communities around the world to contribute to a water-secure future for all.

Our Social Mission
Our vision is of a future where everyone, everywhere has access to resilient water resources for generations to come.
Our mission is to alleviate global water poverty, enhance health, and protect the natural environment by improving the way that people understand and use water, with a focus on those most in need.
Our small organisation aims to address a big problem, providing safe drinking water to the 663 million people worldwide who still lack access to this basic human right.
Our Impact
Frank Water has reached 513,229 people over the last 18 years, across 747 communities.
Achieving this important milestone is a testament to our dedication and hard work, and your committed support over the last 19 years. We’ve accomplished this by collaborating closely with our partners and communities and implementing systematic changes to ensure long-term access to safe, clean water, hygiene, and sanitation.
Yet, numbers only scratch the surface of Frank Water’s impact, failing to fully capture the hundreds of thousands of human stories about lives transformed. Moreover, our pioneering research and innovation in water use and management are making a global impact, developing new understanding, knowledge, and best practices.
Reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation and 13 – Climate Action by 2030 remains challenging, as highlighted by the Stockholm International Water Institute: ‘Water is central in reaching all of the 17 SDGs.’
By collaborating, sharing our expertise, and advocating for best practices, we drive the necessary changes in the water, sanitation, and hygiene sectors for a water-secure world. As our programmes expand, we see our current collaborations and partnerships paving the way to meet the SDGs by 2030 and address the challenges of tomorrow.
