Water Interventions
Compassion partners with thousands of local churches to bring safe water and improved sanitation to the children in our care. Our Water and Sanitation Fund provides access to safe water through boreholes, wells and rainwater catchment systems, safe and hygienic toilet facilities, and hygiene training to minimise health risks.
The reality is...
2.1 billion people have no access to safe drinking water.
946 million people still use unimproved sanitation facilities, practising open defecation.
On average, women and children around the world spend 200 million hours every day collecting water.
With your help we can...
Build life saving wells and water tanks for Compassion-assisted children, their families and their communities.
Construct toilet blocks and give children, especially girls, the facilities and privacy they need.
Keep children in the classroom by removing the need for them to collect water.
Help children like Nyabwiri
In Tanzania, unsafe water is the only water option for many families. That water threatens to steal the life of children like Nyabwiri and her family.
After school, Nyabwiri would go to a stream to fill jugs and buckets with the unsafe water and walk home. The buckets could weight about 13kg. The water would be used for drinking, cooking and washing. Compassion partners and donors put in wells and latrines in her community, giving families safe water and giving children more time for education and play.
Today, Nyabwiri is healthy and attending school regularly. She hopes to be a nurse when she grows up.
Support Critical Interventions
Enable our church partners to address wider community needs, like building boreholes for safe water or providing mosquito nets to prevent malaria.
