Safe water for everyone
Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region where the number of people without clean water is actually growing. Help change that so every community can access clean water.
Water is a basic human right – and the foundation of good health.
Yet today, 81% of people in rural Africa don’t have clean water at home.
Girls are missing school to fetch water, and children are trapped in a cycle of water-borne disease. Access to clean water reduces child mortality rates, and prevents the spread of infections.

Help Noel protect newborns
In Malawi, for every 1,000 babies born alive, 31 die. Without clean water piped into health clinics, it’s impossible for nurses and midwives like Noel to protect patients from infection. One in four clinics don’t have a safe water supply – help us change this now.
Support Udima with clean water close to home
In Ethiopia, Udima had to drop out of school because she spends each day trekking miles for water. She suffers chronic leg pains due to carrying 20 litres home on her head several times a day. Help bring clean water close to communities so girls and women are free to go to school and pursue their dreams.
Keep families like Christine’s safe from waterborne diseases
Christine was forced to fetch dirty stream water for her children to drink. It caused painful infections, but she had no other option. With safe, clean water her children stopped getting sick and could go back to school. Help us end the cycle of waterborne disease to keep children safe.
