Around the world, 1 in 4 children still grows up without access to safe, reliable water. For millions of families, water is unsafe, distant, or unreliable and the consequences for children are severe.
Without clean water close to home, children are far more likely to:
- Fall ill from preventable waterborne diseases
- Drop out of school to collect water or recover from illness
- Experience malnutrition and stunted growth
Over time, these challenges limit children’s ability to learn, grow and reach their potential, locking families into cycles of poverty that can last generations.
Women and girls are also often disproportionately affected, frequently carrying the responsibility of collecting water over long distances, taking time away from school, work and risking their safety.
Sadly, this water crisis is only deepening with half of the world population predicated to be living in regions facing water scarcity by 2030.
