The biggest campaign for clean water in the world.
$40M+ raised · 2M peopleDecades of clean water#TeamWater is a creator-powered campaign to bring clean water to communities around the world. Founded by MrBeast and Mark Rober and supported by one of the largest networks of online creators ever assembled, together we raised over $41 million to provide two million people with clean water, for decades.
In just 31 days, over 15,000 creators sparked a movement for lasting change. From the world’s most recognized creators to school children hosting fundraisers, from record-setting livestreams to everyday people giving what they could, whether it was $1 or thousands, you showed up.
Thank you. Clean water means healthier families. More children in school. More time for women to earn a living, and whole communities changing their lives for the better. You made that possible.
1 in 10 people lack clean water, forcing long treks and missed school, especially for women and girls. Climate change is making this worse. By 2040, up to 4.5 billion people could be experiencing water scarcity.
The water crisis is solvable. #TeamWater is working to solve it.
Every project is carried out in partnership with local communities, governments, and local partners. Infrastructure is designed to be community-led and maintained locally, not dependent on ongoing outside support.

The campaign closes having surpassed its $40M goal, the biggest crowdfunded clean water campaign in internet history.
Work moves forward across nine countries, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, and the United States, some breaking ground for the first time, others accelerating work already in motion. Engineering assessments, partnerships, and infrastructure planning are underway everywhere TeamWater dollars are at work.
Pipes going in. Pumps installed. Treatment plants upgraded. Local operators trained. The hard, unglamorous, essential work is happening right now around the world.
Households connect to clean water for the first time. Every outcome documented with photography, community data, and third-party verification.
Every project completed. Systems handed over to local operators and governments, designed to last long after the campaign ends.
About #TeamWater, answered from our FAQ.
How does one dollar provide a year of clean water, and what will the money raised actually achieve?
by Beast PhilanthropyThe one dollar for one year figure is a planning average. Clean water can cost anywhere from about $10 to $150 per person depending on the community and system needed, so WaterAid and partners designed a mix of projects averaging roughly $20 per person. The more than $40 million raised will reach around 2 million people, each with water systems built to last at least two decades, which is what the campaign means by tens of millions of years of clean water.
