Bring Water to a Community in Need
25% of the world’s population faces some form of water stress or scarcity – many families rely on unsafe sources or must walk long distances to collect water, which places many women and girls in dangerous situations. Water is the foundation for health, dignity, and development in communities experiencing extreme poverty.
With this gift, our teams could provide an entire community with a hand-pump well, where they can get clean water for drinking, cooking and sanitation – fulfilling a basic human need.
This gift helps support our Health and Nutrition programme, helping to save lives and keep families healthy.
- Description
- How gifts work
In Pakistan, communities face challenges in accessing safe water and sanitation. Here, children are bathing in the water of a village hand pump to cool down during the heatwave.
A hand-pump well can transform a community by providing a safe, reliable source for drinking, cooking, and sanitation - fulfilling a basic human need and laying the foundation for health, dignity, and development.
