How did this come to our attention?

Access to safe water, proper sanitation, and hygiene is a basic human right, yet millions of people, especially in underserved regions, struggle to meet these essential needs. During our outreach programs, we observed the devastating impact of unsafe water and poor sanitation on communities—rising health problems, school dropouts due to waterborne diseases, and challenges faced by women and children in particular.

These alarming realities highlighted the urgent need to address this issue. Recognizing that clean water and sanitation are critical to health, dignity, and development, we made it a priority to provide sustainable solutions to this pressing concern.
