20 Years of
Lasting Change

Blood:Water is thrilled to be celebrating two decades of steadfast collaboration with our African partner organizations! This year we are joyfully honoring the incredible work these partners have done to provide safe water, HIV care and support, HIV prevention, and end health disparities in their communities.

Where we’ve been

Founded in 2004 by GRAMMY-award winning band Jars of Clay and activist Jena Lee Nardella, Blood:Water began as a call to personalize the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa.

Through creative, grassroots efforts of tens of thousands of individuals seeking to make a difference, we have raised more than $46 million to support our African partners.

STORIES OF LASTING CHANGE FROM OUR PARTNERS
quote-graphic

“Blood:Water allowed Drop of Water to see the gaps within the organization. We were asking ourselves very, very critical questions. Through those discussions we were able to fill those gaps and move forward in a more structured, formal approach, which we really needed to attract funding and ensure sustainability.”

– Ethiopis Tadesse, Drop of Water Board of Directors Chairperson
