Every year, two million more people gain access to clean water through World Vision.
That's one new person every 30 seconds.
Because of this, children are spending more time in school and less time fetching water.
Women and girls have more opportunities to gain education, employment and equality.
And people are earning a living, instead of fighting waterborne illnesses.
Access to clean water doesn't just save lives..
it boosts the economy and gives people a route out of poverty.
But none of this would be possible without those who are working to solve the world’s water problem.
Like the community members who built a 27km pipeline
to give their villages a permanent supply of water.
And the Melbourne siblings who set up a lemonade stand in their neighbourhood to raise money for a new well.
For 50 years, World Vision has worked alongside people who won’t stop giving...
building and inspiring others until the whole world has access to clean water.
Change is happening, but we're not done yet.
There are still 800 million people who risk their lives every time they drink.
With your support, more communities will be able to build and maintain their own water supply..
and break the cycle of poverty.
