With help from The Giving Block, WaterAid, #TeamWater’s global partners, made crypto donations accessible, secure, and impactful. These donations did not just help hit a number. They empowered global access to safe water.

A Message from the WaterAid Team
This campaign reminded us that the water crisis is massive—but it’s also solvable. When communities come together, from creators to crypto donors, the impact is extraordinary. We’ve been humbled by the generosity we’ve seen and inspired by how many people have joined the effort to make clean water access a reality for millions.
We sat down with Sarah during the #TeamWater campaign to discuss its goals, strategy, and impact in this full interview:
Looking Ahead: What These Funds Will Make Possible
Thanks to the success of #TeamWater, WaterAid will expand its clean water initiatives across multiple continents. The funds raised will support:
- New water infrastructure in remote and underserved regions
- Hygiene education and sanitation programs for schools and health centers
- Training and employment for local water engineers and community health workers

This campaign was more than a fundraising win. It marked a transformational leap forward in the mission to end the global water crisis.
