Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene are vital for living a dignified, healthy life.
Statistics can look stark. 1 in 5 people on the planet doesn't have a decent toilet. 1 in 9 doesn't have clean water close to home.
Pakistan is among the top 10 countries with the lowest access to clean water near to home. But thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already reached thousands of people in some of the toughest places in the country. We can’t stop there.
By working together, we can reach everyone, everywhere within a generation and transform millions of more lives for good.
