Around 700 million people (that’s almost 1 in 10) in the world do not have access to a reliable source of safe clean water. It means they have no choice but to collect dirty water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. It often means a long walk to a river or stream to collect water – work usually carried out by women and girls who often, as a result miss out on schooling. The lack of clean water can lead to the spread of diseases like cholera. It holds back whole communities.

Water Aid believes access to reliable, safe, clean water, sanitation and hygiene is a human right and saves lives.
