Why Water?

The water crisis causes 840,000 deaths a year.2

Did you know, every 90 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease. That’s over 350,000 children dying every year.3

We need to stop this.

We can solve the water crisis in our lifetime.

Let’s make a difference together.

Where you live should not determine your future.

Health

We can help save lives by simply providing access to safe and
clean water to prevent disease, improve health and provide sanitation.

43% of these deaths are children under five years old. Access to
clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.7

Time & Education

Instead of young girls walking long distances everyday for water, we
can give time back for education and learning key skills.

Across the world, 200 million hours are spent walking for water each
day. Now imagine only using that water for one thing every day.8
No-one should have to make that choice

Economic Development

Not only can we saves lives but we can provide a foundation for
economic growth.

Every £1 invested in improved water access and sanitation yields
£4-12 in economic returns, depending on the region and type of project.9
