#TeamWater is a creator-led crowdfunding campaign to change millions of lives around the world through access to clean water. 

This is an opportunity to use game development for something huge that will inspire and improve the lives of millions of people around the world.

#TeamWater is partnering raising money for WaterAid, one of the most trusted water organizations in the world. Money raised will fund: 

  • Piped water systems for homes, schools and health centers
  • Solar-powered pumps so communities can access groundwater without relying on electricity
  • Rainwater harvesting which collects and stores rainwater in tanks or reservoirs and provides a reliable water source, especially in areas with seasonal rainfall
  • Water filters and filtration systems ensuring safe drinking water
  • Mobile water-quality labs and remote sensors
  • Community training so locals can maintain the systems
