BUILD A WELL
Water is essential for life
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around 829 000 people are estimated to die each year from diarrhoea as a result of drinking unsafe water, sanitation and hand hygiene. Yet diarrhoea is largely preventable, and around 297,000 children under 5 die every year and this could be avoided, if these risk factors were addressed.
​
Polluted water and poor sanitation are linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio. Absent, inadequate, or inappropriately managed water and sanitation services expose individuals to preventable health risks.

Billions of people around the world are continuing to suffer from poor access to water, sanitation and hygiene, according to a recent report by UNICEF and the World Health Organization. Some 2.2 billion people around the world do not have safely managed drinking water services, 4.2 billion people do not have safely managed sanitation services, and 3 billion lack basic handwashing facilities.
With your donations, you’re saving lives and providing safe and clean water to people who needed it the most. We will dig safe water wells in areas where they are most needed. This will give people in those area’s the ability to properly wash and safeguard themselves from dangerous infectious diseases.
