Across the world, 703 million people do not have access to safe water, which is a tragedy. As a result, they face multiple barriers: dirty water makes people ill; there isn’t enough water to grow crops; children can’t attend school; and fetching water takes many hours and is unsafe, particularly for women. People are unable to escape poverty. We know the communities we work with want to change this, The Power of Water can make this positive change a reality.
