Water Changes Everything
Throughout Uganda and much of the world, women and children lose several hours each day trying to find water that is contaminated and unsafe. The water is often found in deep, slick, and dangerous hand-dug wells.
Through grassroots relationship building and long-term involvement, we collaboratively develop a solution to bring out clean water’s full potential in the communities we serve.
A Community Effort
Collaboration is key to bringing our projects to fruition. Explore the map below to track the progress of our domestic and international initiatives, spanning completed successes and ongoing endeavors. Together, we build a stronger community.
Together, we have provided clean water to 12 communities, 7 schools, and 1 regional hospital. This includes 27,000 community members and regular distribution to 1,500 people in the USA.
Our Story
MissionCleanWater started when our founder, James Leitner, learned that 1 billion people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. To show what these women and children face every day, he has completed a long list of symbolic and unique fundraisers.
To symbolize the distance women and children must walk every day to find water, he completed one marathon a month for a year. He walked 3,250 miles from New Jersey to California while pulling 10 gallons of water, representing the total distance a child walks in one year to gather water. James walked 100 miles in 32 hours while carrying 5 gallons of water, and has more in store. These efforts build awareness of what life is like without clean water.
Through collaboration and consultation with international development organizations, James is working to ensure that everyone has access to clean water.
