Clean Water for Every Family

Water supply systems in Syria have been devastated by conflict. In Syria, 14.6 million people have been impacted by the crisis and require regular access to water. 18 million people in Yemen also need water, sanitation and hygiene assistance. Drinking dirty water is one of the most common causes of death in the developing world despite being one of the most preventable. Safe drinking water helps some of the most desperate families to break free from poverty and illness.

Water is vital for drinking, cooking, hygiene and farming. With reliable access to water, thousands of lives could be saved each day.

Ensuring access to water and sanitation facilities requires us to invest in proper infrastructure and sanitation facilities, as well as spread awareness of water conservation, hygiene, and sustainable usage.

We are implementing a range of projects that support and empower local communities such as building sustainable water wells, maintaining water trucking services in displacement camps and building water stations. Find out more about each of our projects below.

Your donations will help provide clean drinking water to thousands of people daily.

According to the UN, water scarcity affects 40% of the world's population - an already dreadful figure which is likely to increase as supply is unable to meet increasing demand.
