Family Humanitarian strives first and foremost to bring clean, safe water to everyone, everywhere.

With clean water in place, we are then able to selectively magnify its effects in villages through educational programs and school construction.

Four Star Charity

Family Humanitarian has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and a Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.  This distinction places us in the top 1% of all charities.   We are proud that our commitment to transparency, responsibility, and financial accountability has earned us this designation, but we are even more proud of the support we have from you – people who have donated, held fundraisers, volunteered, participated in expeditions, and joined our family (the Family Humanitarian family) in any way.  We couldn’t do this work without the support of so many who believe in our mission and have joined us on this journey to bring clean water to everyone, everywhere.
