Your gift becomes water a child can trust.

Every donation funds purification systems for children's homes and shelters — and, just as importantly, the servicing that keeps them working long after installation day.

Together, we keep clean water flowing.

The numbers

Where the money actually goes.

Nobody here draws a salary. What comes in buys equipment, pays the specialists who fit it, and keeps the filters changed afterwards. Every figure below is taken from the returns we file with the IRS, which anyone may read.

79%
of our spending went to the work

In the year ending 30 June 2024 the Foundation spent $15,790. Of that, $12,527 was programme spending: systems, fitting, servicing and laboratory testing.

$49,831
programme spending the year before

The year ending 30 June 2023 was our largest to date. That is the money behind the systems now running in children’s homes in Greece.

$0
paid to anyone who runs it

No officer or director of the Foundation takes compensation. It is stated on the public return, year after year.

The remainder is what it costs for a charity to exist at all — the annual state report, bank charges, and the accountant who prepares the return. The Foundation funds the systems; the fitting is done by local specialist companies, and in Greece our partner is NearonYdor.

We would rather you heard this from us: the two most recently filed years were quiet ones — $300, and then nothing. The work in Greece continued through our partner, but the Foundation itself raised almost nothing while its filings and registration were brought back in order. That is public too, and you should be able to see it before you give.

The free apps, and why they are not advertising

We give two tools away and charge nobody for them: a drinking reminder called Neráki, and a website check called BeOnTop. Neither carries advertising. A company that chooses to sponsor one of them makes a donation to the Foundation, and its name appears as a thank-you — a name, a logo, and a plain description of what it does. No offers, no prices, no discounts, nothing to buy. That money goes into the same water systems as every other gift.

Our Form 990 returns are published by the IRS. Read them yourself — we would rather you checked than took our word for it.

“Thank you very much for your kind donation for the water purification systems, installed in the Village's homes and in the office. This has helped us to have access to quality, pure water — both the children at homes and the workers.”
Filon Lemonis Director, SOS Children's Village Vari & Athens Youth House
Levels of giving

What each level makes possible.

Give whatever you can — every amount goes to the same work. These are simply the points at which a gift changes what we are able to promise.

Friend
Up to $100

Filters, testing and the small recurring costs that keep an existing system honest. Nothing here is symbolic — servicing is the part that actually protects children.

Fully tax-deductible
Supporter
$101 – $1,000

A year of servicing for a home already drinking water we provided, or a meaningful share of the next installation.

Fully tax-deductible
Guardian
$1,001 – $5,000

Funds a purification system for a children's home and five years of cartridges — the equipment and the promise that follows it, together.

Fully tax-deductible
Village Sponsor
$5,001 and above

Takes on a whole village: the three to five systems a village actually needs, and the years of servicing after. You are named as its sponsor, and you hear directly from the home your gift reached.

Fully tax-deductible

Every level above is a gift, not a purchase — you receive no goods or services in exchange, which is why all of it is deductible to the extent allowed by law. We send a written acknowledgement for every gift.

Other ways to give

Some gifts do not come through a card.

🏦 Bank transfer

For larger gifts, or if your accountant prefers it. You can now send a bank transfer straight through our giving page — it carries the lowest fees of any method, so more of the gift reaches the children.

Or ask us for the details and documentation →

🤝 Corporate giving

A company can sponsor a whole village — the systems and the years of upkeep — or match what its staff give. We provide everything your finance team requires.

📦 In kind

Equipment, laboratory testing, transport or professional time. If you supply something we would otherwise buy, that is a real donation.

Double your gift

Does your employer match donations?

Thousands of companies match what their staff give to charity — many dollar for dollar, some two or three times over. If yours is one of them, your gift can be worth double, at no extra cost to you. It usually takes two minutes.

1 · Open your giving portal

Log in to your company's giving or “workplace giving” portal — often powered by Benevity, YourCause or Bright Funds.

2 · Search for us by EIN

Use the number rather than the name. It never fails:

EIN 84-2236945

We may appear as Aqua for All Foundation or under our registered name, Aqua Africa Foundation Non Profit Co. Both are us — but there is a separate, unrelated charity with a similar name, so please match on the EIN above rather than on the words.

3 · Request the match

Give, then submit the match request. Not sure whether your employer offers this? Ask your HR team — most people who have the benefit have never been told about it.

Two children’s homes in Greece have said yes.

The Orphanage of Volos and the Lyreio Children’s Home in Attica have both accepted our offer in writing. What they need now is the equipment, and the servicing that keeps it working year after year. That is what your gift pays for.
