Who we are
A Christian clean water organization for the unreached
neverthirst is a Christian clean water organization based in Birmingham, Alabama. We fund safe water, sanitation, and hygiene through local WASH partners, and we connect each project to a local pastor or evangelist so the gospel becomes available across the communities we serve.
Providing clean and living water means pairing safe drinking water with the hope of Christ. If you want to provide clean water for the unreached, join us.

Giving $50 serves one person
Every $50 donation serves one unreached person with clean and living water. $50 doesn't just fund clean water infrastructure; it empowers hygiene and sanitation training, equips pastors, and helps monitor the long-term sustainability of projects.
When you give $50 once or on a monthly basis, you can be confident that clean water is always connected to living water. Your impact will last for years to come.
Every $50 donation serves one unreached person with clean and living water.
We exist for the unreached
696 million people still lack access to clean and safe water.
The unreached are people with little or no access to the gospel. We go to the places where that need and the need for clean water meet.
More than 80% of those in need live in rural communities, where access to the gospel is often limited and ministry is often opposed.
Inspired by a teaching on Psalm 67, our founders began by partnering with local pastors in South Sudan. Today we support local partners across Africa and Asia, in three regions inside the 10/40 Window.
We don't publish the names of the countries we serve. In some places, putting those names on a website can put field workers at risk.

Where you can make a difference
We've identified 3 regions with massive, urgent need for clean water and little access to the gospel.
Change a community
Fund a water project for a village or school
If you want to serve a whole community, sponsor a water project. Costs start near $5,000 for a hand pump where groundwater is shallow. A tap stand on a piped system can reach $25,000, and the largest piped systems run to $150,000 or more. Several donors often come together to fund one of those.
The three most urgent needs right now are listed below, and each region page has more projects waiting to be funded.
When you fund a project, we'll send you a personalized project report with GPS coordinates, photographs, and stories from the community and the local church partner you served.
Our Most Urgent Needs
What is the 10/40 Window?
The 10/40 Window is the region of the world between 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator. It's home to the majority of the world's least-reached people, and some of the greatest need for clean water. It's where we focus our work.
How it works
How the work actually happens
We plan each program with local partners who already work in the region. Locations are chosen on need, geography, sustainability, and whether a local church can walk with the community afterward.
Local water organizations do the engineering. Construction takes 12 to 18 months, and during that time a water committee is trained to own and maintain the water point, a repair fund is established, and local pastors and evangelists often take part in the hygiene and sanitation training.
Every water point is documented, tested, and verified against our standards before we report back to you. We then monitor it for at least five years to confirm the water is still flowing.
Churches can fund a project together as a congregation, and we will help you run the campaign. If you have questions, want to give stock, or would like to talk with our team, contact us.
