Goals

The Never Thirst Again clean water initiative is designed to contribute to the Millennium Development Goal 7, Target 10, for water and sanitation: to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to clean water and basic sanitation.

Clean water is an essentail part of our mission to help reduce poverty and to transform lives.

The Millennium Development Goals were established in 2000 when 147 Heads of State committed to achieving eight goals to halve global poverty by 2015. These targets include decreasing hunger and disease, increasing access to water and basic shelter, closing the the gap on gender inequality, education, and human rights; and environmental sustainability.

In terms of water alone, achieving these goals would mean 350 million more people would have access to clean, safe drinking water by 2015.
