Why Water?
Safe water is the first step to a brighter future
Access to safe water transforms lives. It not only prevents illness but also unlocks opportunities for education, health, and economic growth. Without it, communities remain trapped in poverty. Together, we can change that.

billion
People don’t have access to adequate sanitation. That’s 1 in 5 people globally.Â
With safe water, communities can begin to lift themselves out of poverty and build brighter futures.
A lack of safe water and sanitation holds back development and makes it harder for communities to escape the poverty trap.
The primary responsibility for collecting water falls to women and children, who spend hours a day walking for water. These journeys are arduous and dangerous, with women and children at risk of abduction, sexual violence, and animal attacks.
