About Us

WaterStep is an NGO based in Kentucky, USA, that focuses on sustainable solutions to the world’s WASH crisis. Since 1995, WaterStep has evolved from a small service organization to a global leader in safe water solutions and innovation.

WaterStep has developed simple tools, patented technology, and effective training to empower people and communities to solve their own water and sanitation needs. We provide expert solutions for places where infrastructure is fragile and execution challenges are particularly difficult, especially in slums, rural villages, and in communities responding to natural and manmade disasters. WaterStep combines safe water and disinfectant technology, and health and hygiene education because safe water in a dirty cup is no longer safe, and dirty hands spread disease.

Our technology offers scalable safe water and disinfectant access during disasters because no one should have to worry about whether their water is safe during an emergency. No other safe water NGO in the world does what we do.
