What This Woman Would Give
Just To Have A Faucet!

Women must manually collect water in some areas of the world. In many areas they are exposed to violence and animal attacks when walking to remote water sources and finding places to defecate. Lack of safe water means an additional burden for women who are responsible for looking after sick children and family members.

Lack of sanitation requires that some women wait until dark to relieve themselves outside. Imagine the discomfort of a woman suffering from diarrhea who has to wait for hours.

Help CARE bring safe drinking water and sanitation to the rest of the world! Donate here.
