Why We Do
What We Do
Our planet is a water planet. Around 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water — but not everywhere people desperately need it.
While many of us simply turn on the tap, around 2.1 billion people worldwide still lack access to safely managed drinking water, according to WHO/UNICEF. That is roughly one in four people.
This is exactly where WATER IS RIGHT steps in, creating solutions for a problem that could have been solved long ago: the water is there. It just needs to be distributed more fairly.
We bring clean water to where it is needed most. Together with local partners, we install water treatment systems, refurbish abandoned wells, and build sanitation facilities. We train local professionals, conduct hygiene workshops, and support educational projects — internationally and in German schools alike. Our goal: solutions that last.
Behind WATER IS RIGHT stands Rolf Stahlhofen. And by his side are people, companies, and artists who look closely and want to make a difference as WE. Because the problem is not a lack of water on Earth — it is that too many people lack fair access to it.
