Globally, 785 MILLION people lack access to clean water.
At least 2 BILLION people in the world get their water from contaminated sources.
Drinking dirty water can cause diseases such as cholera, typhoid and diarrhoea, which kills millions of people every year.
In many parts of the world, people, especially women and children, spend hours each day trekking on dangerous terrain in search of water. The water they are able to find is often dirty, carrying disease.
Help us make fresh, clean water accessible to everyone; donate today to save countless lives through our Water For Life appeal.
When we give water, we give life. Not only do we help stop the spread of disease, but we also give children the opportunity to go to school, women the opportunity to care for their families or to work, and for communities to become healthier and stronger.
