Why We Are Here

To ensure access for those in most need, we focus on the extremely poor—including those with disabilities—in rural areas with the greatest disease burden. And we provide clean water not just for households but also for community schools and healthcare facilities.

Currently, World Vision is reaching one new person with clean water every 10 seconds. We have a plan to reach everyone everywhere we work, roughly 50 million people, with clean water by 2030.

What Challenge will you solve today?

World Vision commits to provide clean drinking water to everyone, everywhere World Vision works by 2030.

We will accomplish this by continuing to reach 1 new person with clean water every 10 seconds, resulting in 20 million people provided clean water by 2020 and 50 million people by 2030.

This video captures that commitment and shares the stories of four African women who struggled to gather water for their families and whose lives have now been transformed because World Vision brought clean water to their villages.

Review the Challenge Agreement

The Challenge Agreement (formerly Challenge Specific Agreement or CSA) is a legal document that outlines a Solver's rights and responsibilities if they elect to submit a solution in response to an Innocentive Challenge. The Challenge Agreement specifies if and how IP will be transferred between Solver and Seeker; it may also specify any special rules, such as exclusionary rules for categories of Solvers, that apply to the Challenge.

You must accept the Challenge Agreement to be able to submit a solution to the Challenge. Be sure to read and understand the Challenge Agreement for each Challenge because you will be subject to the applicable Challenge conditions.

Challenge Agreements provide Solvers with clear details around participation, legal IP transfer (if applicable), and details around Prize and Scouting Challenges.
