The Ripple Effect

Reliable access to clean water, along with better sanitation and hygiene practices, causes rates for waterborne illnesses, like cholera, to plummet and drastically improves the health of communities.

With a reliable source of clean water nearby, children can focus on school instead of walking long ways to collect water. And, with better clean water infrastructure in schools for toilets and handwashing, girls don’t have to drop out at puberty due to not having a place to wash.

Educated girls earn higher incomes, are less likely to marry early, and are empowered to build better futures for themselves and their families. When women no longer spend their days fetching water, they can secure greater job opportunities and a stronger voice within their communities.

With enough water, communities can plant more crops and diversify their income. This creates new jobs, stabilizes nutrition, and can allow a community to become more self-reliant.

Less time spent worrying about water means more time spent on economic activity. More money is circulated within the economy as incomes diversify and jobs grow.

Reliable access to clean water can reduce tension and conflict over resources. People congregate and communities grow around clean water systems. Clean water becomes a long-term anchor for community prosperity — enabling entire communities and future generations to thrive, grow, and develop.
