Compassion partners with thousands of local churches in 27 countries 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.
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.
