Staggering Statistics:

  • “In Rwanda, more than 40% of households still rely on unsafe water sources.”

  • “A child dies every two minutes from waterborne diseases.”

  • “With just $50, you can provide clean water to a family of 5 for up to 10 years.”

  • “Clean water reduces waterborne diseases by 80%, helping children stay in school and families stay healthy.”
