Water: The Difference Between Life and Death
Every day, millions of women and children walk for hours under the scorching sun to collect water. But the water they find is far from safe—contaminated with bacteria, shared with animals, and filled with disease. For many, drinking this water means facing deadly illnesses like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery.
💧 Nearly 6,000 children die every day from waterborne diseases.
💧 Over 80% of water-deprived women must travel long distances to fetch water, risking violence, assault, and injury.
💧 3.5 million lives are lost each year simply due to a lack of clean water.
No water means no future. Without clean water, children drop out of school, families lose their livelihoods, and entire communities are trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease. This isn’t just a crisis—it’s an emergency.
