What is it?

The water that Rita drinks from this dam in Ghana makes her sick with diarrhoea and malaria, but she has no alternative.

Water Health Life is a program designed specifically to address the problem of dirty water and poor sanitation among the world’s poorest communities.

Dirty water and poor sanitation lead to diseases such as intestinal worm infection, typhoid and also diarrhoea, killing 6,000 children each day!

We have the means to stop it, but it requires long-term work. Water Health Life tackles these problems with various practical solutions, such as sinking wells and drilling boreholes.

As more people support Water Health Life, more projects will be added to help more children.
