Your donation will provide a safe drinking water supply to a rural community and improve health and education impacts to the lives of thousands of people
The Water Crisis
In many rural areas, drinking water from unprotected water sources (sometimes shared with livestock) is a stark reality.
Lack of access to clean water means that thousands of people living in rural areas are stuck in a poverty cycle unable to meet basic needs to improve living conditions.
Because these rural areas lack safe water, preventable water-borne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery and diarrhoea are reported highly.
The burden of water collection is typically tasked to women and children, who can travel up to 4 hours every day many kilometres from where they live.
Every day thousands of students head to schools with no clean water supplies. Without access to water, education is almost impossible.
​
But access to clean drinking water changes everything.
