Since 2001, Water Mission has partnered with communities around the world to bring safe water to men, women, and children who lack it. More than 2 billion people still do not have water near their homes that is clean and safe to drink. But there is a solution, and we believe the global water crisis can be ended.
This is why we honor World Water Day every year on March 22. This World Water Day, we aim to inspire action by highlighting the global water crisis and partnering with passionate people like you to work toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6—ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Water is life. While we often take it for granted, many people do not have it, making it difficult to experience economic opportunities, health, and joy.
Like many proud parents, Cindy decorates the walls of her house with her children’s artwork and school awards, working hard to make a comfortable home for her family. She lives in Republica Alemania, Honduras, with her three children, husband, two brothers, and mother.
Unfortunately, many families have left Republica Alemania due to the lack of water, meaning Cindy’s children no longer have friends to play with after school. The family lives off only her husband’s salary, as it is difficult for Cindy’s brothers to find work. Their little money is used for necessities like food and water.
