Across the world, millions of people still live without reliable access to safe and clean drinking water. For many, water shortages are not just inconvenient—they are life-threatening. Children walk miles under the sun to collect a single bucket of water. Mothers compromise hygiene and sanitation because clean water is scarce. Schools struggle to operate because students fall ill from contaminated sources. The impact is widespread, touching every aspect of daily life: health, education, safety, dignity, and long-term development.
