Water By Women is a non-profit organization focused on providing safe drinking water through household filtration solutions facilitated by women in the community. By empowering Water Women to install and operate these systems, the group aims to deliver sustained access to clean water for families and communities in places where traditional engineered infrastructure may be impractical, thereby supporting public health and resilience. The approach emphasizes networks of women as central agents, enabling a human-centered pathway to improved water security across diverse regions, including Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the United States. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the organization connects local and global efforts and has grown to engage tens of thousands of women since its inception in 2008, with a broadened geographic reach over time. A recent pattern in its activity includes partnerships with faith-based and mission-oriented organizations to extend the distribution of water filtration technologies to those in need, such as disaster-affected communities and underserved populations in remote areas.
