Hunger & Poverty
771 million people lack basic access to clean and safe drinking water. We've been on a mission to end the water crisis since 2006, and with the help of generous supporters like you, we're getting closer every day.
771 million people in the world live without clean water, that’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick. Access to clean water means education, income and health - especially for women and kids.
