Educate. Empower. Act. The mission of Project WET is to reach children, parents, educators, and communities of the world with water education. We invite you to join us in educating children about the most precious resource on the planet — water.
From 1984 to 1995, Project WET concentrated on developing the Project WET USA network.
In 1995, Project WET began to expand internationally with Canada as the first country to join the Project WET international network. Today, the Project WET international network has programs in 42 countries on five continents.
Any interested water education organization or agency in their country can become a host.
Project WET believes in putting local people and organizations at the center of their solutions. Project WET is currently in 43 countries on five continents and is growing rapidly.
