Take a moment to appreciate and value Earth’s gift of water

As the world marks Word Water Day this week, we’re joining with our peers to raise awareness about the importance of clean water around the world. There’s still a great need to improve access to this critical resource, which is still unavailable to 2.2-billion people, according to the United Nations.

“For me, water means protection,” said António Guterres, secretary-general for the United Nations. “A well-managed water cycle — encompassing drinking water, sanitation, hygiene, wastewater, transboundary governance, the environment and more — means a defence against ill health and indignity and a response to challenges from a changing climate and increasing global demand.”

Children Believe provides clean water to children and families around the world through the construction of water and sanitation facilities as well as training on exercising good hygiene.

Help a community access clean water and sanitation today by giving a gift through our catalogue.
