Our Impact

Global Water Lifeline (GWL) impact is measured by real change in the daily lives of the communities we serve. Through sustainable water infrastructure, hygiene education, and community empowerment, our work creates lasting improvements in health, dignity, and opportunity across rural regions of Africa and South America.

Measurable Change Across Communities

The impact of Global Water Lifeline’s work is reflected in real numbers and real lives transformed. Across multiple countries and communities, our sustainable water solutions continue to reduce health risks, improve daily living conditions, and create long-term access to safe and reliable drinking water.

6 Countries Served

GWL operates across six countries where water scarcity and unsafe sources continue to affect vulnerable populations:

Cameroon Cameroon • Nigeria Nigeria • DR Congo Democratic Republic of the Congo • Uganda Uganda • Peru Peru • Bolivia Bolivia

In each location, we tailor our interventions to local challenges, whether drilling deep wells, rehabilitating broken systems, or installing solar-powered pumps for reliable access.

35,000+ Lives Reached

Every water project directly benefits entire villages, schools, and clinics. Families gain nearby access to safe water, children spend more time learning, and communities experience improved daily living conditions without the burden of long walks to unsafe sources.
