Our Mission
The mission of Clean Water Help is to unite industries, universities, governments, non-profits, and intergovernmental organizations to identify and apply scientific, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions to improve water resources throughout the world.
Our Vision
Clean Water Help envisions a world where:
-
Every human has access to clean, safe, and affordable drinking water.
-
Fisheries and farms can be sustainable without sacrificing profits, providing high-quality nutrition and economic opportunities. Nutrients improve yields without promoting toxic algae blooms.
-
Wetlands and aquatic ecosystems are protected and cherished for the benefits they provide to society and the environment.
-
Pollution prevention is proactive rather than reactive or neglected.
-
Education is prioritized, creativity is nurtured, and children grow up to be thought leaders who discover innovative solutions that change the world.
-
Recreational water bodies like lakes, rivers, and beaches are beautiful, safe, enjoyable, and free from pollution. These water bodies promote tourism and enhance the local economy.
We envision a world where EVERYONE has clean water.
