Our Impact

overview

Swim Drink Fish is working towards a future where every person can safely touch the water that flows through their community, where that water is pure enough for drinking, and where waters are healthy and wild enough that fish and birds and plants thrive.

We believe that swimmable, drinkable, fishable water is necessary for the things people value most in life -- family and friendship, culture, freedom, and opportunity.
