"Safe water is essential"
Mothers like Margaret (pictured here with her son, Anafi) often face an impossible choice. No water or, sickness and disease from dirty water.
In communities like Margaret's where water is scarce, hygiene and sanitation are often side-lined as precious supplies are reserved for drinking or farming.
Could you chip in now and help bring safe clean water to more families like Margaret’s – it takes just 2 minutes.
“We had to wake up at 4am only to find a crowd of people already at the water point. Three villages were using the same well. The water was unhygienic because livestock could also use the water”.
Poor hygiene can lead to bacterial infections like Trachoma, the world’s leading cause of preventable blindness. It can spread through families. Left untreated the infection can lead to irreversible blindness.
“My baby son Anafi got very sick due to water problems, he had very bad trachoma. I would go to the health centre almost every week. I was given the medication, but nothing seemed to change. I didn’t have peace of mind.”
