Without clean water, sanitation and hygiene, we cannot end poverty.

Around the world, over 1,000 children die every day – never reaching their fifth birthday – because they don’t have access to clean water. In places like Ghana and Honduras, at least 1 in 4 people are without access to clean water. To end extreme poverty, we must start with water. Access to clean water means families can watch crops grow, communities have better protection against sickness, and children can go to school. Together, with donors and partners like you, we’re taking bold steps forward to bring clean water to everyone, everywhere we work in Ghana and Honduras. This can happen in our lifetime. World Vision's approach to water involves strengthening ecosystems, protecting watersheds, and tackling pollution while helping communities plan for water shortages. As the world’s leading nongovernmental provider of clean water in the developing world, World Vision knows that lasting change requires a holistic approach. Join us today and help children in Ghana and Honduras gain what every person deserves: safe water, dignity and the chance to build a brighter future.
