Climate change is threatening the world's water supply, and women and girls are bearing the brunt.  

Women and girls have to walk further to find water, to care for the family and home, leaving them less time to learn or earn a living. 

1 in 10 people don't have clean water close to home.

Hilda's community in Mozambique faces frequent floods and drought, and she has to risk her life to collect water for her family in extreme weather conditions.

200million hours is spent by women and girls walking for water each day.

As climate change makes clean water even more scarce, this number will continue to rise, holding women and girls back from achieving their full potential.
