Safe Water
$53 Provides a Family With Safe and Clean Water
Give Clean and Safe Water
Giving safe water to a family breaks the cycle of poverty and paves the way for a future of dignity, health, and opportunity. Without access to clean water, children remain vulnerable to exploitation, including trafficking, and families are trapped in generational poverty. By providing safe drinking water, we empower women to work, girls to attend school, and communities to thrive economically. This sustainable approach reduces vulnerability and opens doors to education, income, and a brighter future.
"The dirty water makes us sick—our kids are suffering.”
The Need
In India, 128 million people lack safe water. The World Bank estimates that 21 percent of all communicable diseases are related to unsafe drinking water. Water-related diseases affect millions, mostly children, and women spend their days collecting water instead of working, growing food or caring for their children.
Many people who lack clean drinking water live in poverty in remote areas. They travel for hours, walking barefoot across dirt roads to collect water for their families. But the water they bring home is often life destroying. It carries dangerous bacteria that can make everyone sick.
