We all need clean water, no matter who or where we are.
And we all need to play our part so that everyone, everywhere can get it.
771 million people don't have clean water close to home.
Women and girls are often the ones expected to walk to find water. We work with local communities so they don’t have to make these long, dangerous journeys.
Every 2 seconds a woman gives birth in a health centre without clean water.
Enala, 19, gave birth without access to clean water. Enala and her baby survived but many don’t. Health clinics with clean water save lives.
1in10 mothers who die, do so due to infections caused by unclean births.
