Rainwater harvesting system ($120)
Sometimes, groundwater sources are lacking or are dangerous for consumption. In these scenarios, a rainwater harvesting system can make a big difference for the communities WaterAid partners with.
Handwashing Facility ($250)
Public handwashing stations give large groups of people access to a safe place to wash their hands with soap and water, greatly reducing the spread of disease.
Toilet for a family ($350)
Without toilets, individuals have to defecate in the open, threatening their safety and dignity. Toilets are particularly important for the empowerment of women and girls as they gain a safe space to manage their menstrual hygiene
Community Water Tank ($2500)
This gift can provide a community water tank to collect clean water for an entire village. With access to safe and reliable water, children and women won't waste hours walking to collect water that’s often dirty and unsafe to drink.
