Join us in the fight against human trafficking
Why water? Clean water changes everything!
HEALTH

Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year th an all forms of violence, including war. 43% of those deaths are children under 5 years old. Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.
TIME

In Africa alone, women spend 40 billion hours a year walking for water. Access to clean water gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school - all of which fight poverty.
EDUCATION

Clean water helps keep kids in school, especially girls. Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don't have to stay home for a week out of every month.

 WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Women are responsible for 72% of the water collected in Sub-Saharan Africa. When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

The reality is that we can save far more people from human trafficking through prevention than we ever can through rescue. When girls don't have to walk 4+ miles multiple times a day on dark or desolate roads, the very real threat of kidnapping and being sold into human slavery greatly diminishes. When water is provided, kids can go to formal schooling to lift their families out of poverty and moms can learn and be empowered to provide for their families through businesses. With this, hope is restored, despair leaves, and parents are no longer willing to sell their children. Providing life's most basic necessity prevents thousands from becoming victims.
