Lent is a time for giving up small luxuries in life. But imagine if you had to give up more important things, like school or your job, all because you don't have clean water close to home. This is the reality for 1 in 9 people around the world.

For children especially, clean water can be the difference between a full education and dropping out of school. The difference between enjoying a happy childhood with friends, or risking their lives on long walks for water.
