In 2006, Matt Damon started a water nonprofit; years later, it reached over 92 million people

Matt Damon’s journey as an international clean-water advocate began following a transformative trip to a Zambian village. That pivotal experience inspired him to launch the H2O Africa Foundation to spotlight the critical challenges of water scarcity. Alongside Gary White, he later established Water.org to expand their mission—an initiative that has successfully provided safe water and sanitation access to approximately 92 million people.
