Your gift of water is a gift of hope

Every day, women and girls spend an astounding 200 million hours collecting water. By supporting local water projects, you are empowering women and girls like Thandolwayo to avoid these long and often dangerous journeys.

You are boosting school attendance for girls

Your generosity is transforming schools by providing clean water and proper sanitation facilities. With safe and private toilets, girls are less likely to miss classes during their periods or drop out altogether. And with water readily available, girls like Thandolwayo can focus on their education instead of starting each day with an exhausting trek for water.

You are enhancing food security and building livelihoods

Reliable access to water enables families to grow crops and raise livestock, even during droughts. This not only ensures a steady supply of food but also serves as a vital source of income. Your kindness is helping communities thrive by supporting sustainable food production and enhancing their livelihoods.
