Program 2 · The Need

Why this matters.

Women and girls walk miles for unsafe water, and preventable diseases spread because of poor hygiene. Clean water close to home keeps families healthy and girls in the classroom.

  • Women and girls walk miles for unsafe water
  • Preventable diseases spread due to poor hygiene
