Safe Water

Safe Water

Description

Clean, safe water is essential for a healthy life, but more than two billion people lack safe water at home. This gift helps people access life-giving clean water and reduce preventable diseases.

How your gift helps

By purchasing this gift, you are supporting water and sanitation projects run by Tearfund’s partners around the world. Thank you for your support.

Ongoing poverty can force people to use unsafe, contaminated or distant water sources. Tearfund’s partners work with communities to help them access clean water.

In this remote village in Nepal, Tearfund’s partner Share and Care has worked with the community to repair an old, damaged drinking water system so that all villagers have year-round access to water. One villager says: “Before, we had a scarcity of drinking water. It was hard to manage our animals, our cooking and our hygiene – now it is so much easier.” Another says: “Women had to walk to the water source before, so they would have difficulty managing their time. Now, rather than spending so much time carrying water for their households and animals, they have time for other productive activities.”
