Help us raise $1.3 million by December 31 so we can unlock funds from other committed partners for a total of $2.6 million. We could provide access to clean water for women like Loa across Liberia, Cambodia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Haiti—reaching nearly 240,000 people! Help us #FinishTheirStory.
When the market for her crops crashed, Loa and her husband had to sell off all their belongings—including their home. Hopeless and with nowhere to go, Loa knew something needed to change.
But without access to clean water, how could Loa take advantage of a new opportunity to transform her life?
We envision a world where Loa has access to clean water because we understand first-hand how water affects her and her family holistically—her health, safety, education, and her ability to take charge of her future and economic livelihood. Clean water has everything to do with it.
Clean water has everything to do with…
One child under five dies every 60 seconds from diarrheal disease as a result of unsafe drinking water. (WHO)
On the road to water or sanitation facilities, women and girls are left vulnerable to sexual violence. (IASC)
Many children spend 6-8 hours a day fetching water—time that could be spent in school. (UNICEF)
90% of the clean water burden falls on women, leaving no time for other income-generating activities to help the family. (UNDESA)
