Over a billion people in the world today lack access to clean drinking water. The result is that there are more people in the world’s hospitals today suffering from water-borne diseases than any other ailment.

FRANK Water Projects funds sustainable clean water projects in developing countries across the world and has to date funded 58 clean water plants in India, reaching more than 400 thousand people.

Each project costs around £7,000 and provides clean, safe drinking water for up to 7,000 people in the village and surrounding communities. That means that for every pound donated, clean, healthy drinking water is provided for one person, for life.

Once a project is set up, it is owned, run and maintained by the local community, with support workers on hand to provide advice when needed.
