H2O Africa Foundation
The H2O Africa Foundation was an NGO founded by Matt Damon to raise awareness about clean water initiatives in Africa. It was part of the Running the Sahara expedition and documentary project undertaken by Damon, James Moll, LivePlanet, and the Independent Producers Alliance. In 2009, the H2O Africa Foundation merged with WaterPartners to form Water.org, an organization co-founded by Matt Damon and Gary White of WaterPartners in July 2009.〔(Damon joins K.C. organization to provide for developing communities ) AP, July 15, 2009〕
==History==
When Matt Damon and his producing partners Marc Joubert, Larry Tanz, and Keith Quinn were starting to work on planning the expedition and film for Running the Sahara, Damon had the idea of starting a charitable initiative. It was informally launched in the spring of 2006, and Richard Klopp was hired as launch Executive Director.〔(Damon spices up fund-raiser - The Boston Globe )〕

On May 29, 2007, H2O Africa announced a new partnership with the Ryan's Well Foundation.〔(Ryan's Well Foundation and the H2O Africa Foundation Announce Partnership for Clean Water ) retrieved 4 Aug 2007〕〔(Ryan's Well and H2O Africa Join Forces For Clean Water ) retrieved 4 Aug 2007〕
