About us
A dedicated team with clear objectives
We combine professionalism with efficiency and sustainability
The WaterFoundation was founded in 2000 by Ernst Frost and Henner Lang.
The foundation is based in Ebenhausen, near Munich.
As a legally responsible, non-profit and charitable foundation, it supports people in regions with too little or too polluted drinking water by helping them to help themselves in the areas of water and sanitation, as well as nature and water conservation and generation of income .
Only by combating the causes of flight can people be enabled to remain in their home regions in the long term.
Principles and Objectives
The foundation’s work is based on its commitment to the realization of the human right to water and sanitation.
Transparency
Transparency is important to us. That is why we have joined the Transparent Civil Society (ITZ) initiative and signed a voluntary commitment.
Patrons
Since the foundation was established in 2000, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the artist and environmental activist Friedensreich Hundertwasser have been its patrons.
