Water is the single symbol shared by all religions, the leading cause of disease and death around the world, and the foundation to solving virtually every global health and development problem.
Faiths for Safe Water is the only advocacy project delivering the faith voice to help prioritize attention on the global water crisis. Faiths for Safe Water is dedicated to supporting the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector and does not advocate for any particular faith or field projects. We encourage all faiths to unite around this shared symbol and solution, and embody interfaith at its life-giving best. |
The Auburn Senior Fellows are 24 of the most exciting faith leaders in the U.S., working to advance a multi-faith movement for justice. Brought together by Auburn Seminary, these media-savvy leaders add a thought-provoking, values lens to reporting, organizing and advocacy.
Faith in Foreign Assistance (FIA) seeks to strengthen U.S. public support and funding for global health and development assistance through the voice and lens of faith.
Whether it’s maternal/child health, nutrition, clean water, sanitation, agriculture, education, vaccinations, medicine and more, today’s children and families are thriving at a rate unprecedented in history. U.S. funding, influence and leadership help lead the way to greater human security. Faith-based organizations are vital government partners, and faith leaders and communities are crucial advocates — for aid that works. |
Global Water 2020 seeks to accelerate progress toward the under-recognized but solvable challenges of global water security. This three-year, non-partisan advocacy and facilitation initiative encourages public and private stakeholders across the globe to prioritize water security, and water & sanitation in healthcare facilities, both fundamental to human security. GW2020 seeks to increase the amount and effectiveness of human, financial and technical resources invested in the global water sector.
Whistleblowers play an essential role as catalysts of accountability and justice. Many who witness immoral, unethical and illegal acts in government-associated workplaces will turn to clergy who, bound by strict legal and moral confidentiality, serve as important confidants. Whistleblower situations are complex, and clergy need to be prepared to effectively support truth-tellers seeking guidance about whether and how to report wrongdoing. Likewise, whistleblowers need their faith communities’ understanding and support.
Working with the leading whistleblower protection organizations, the Government Accountability Project, Bearing Witness was launched shortly after the 2020 election. Bearing Witness offers important new resources and pro bono legal support to help faith leaders and communities responsibility support those called by moral courage to speak out about government wrongdoing and abuses of power. |
