UNICEF Won't Stop: World Water Day

by UNICEF USA

Without access to safe water, our most basic needs are left unmet. Yet 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water and approximately 1,000 children under 5 die every day from diseases due to a lack of appropriate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services.

UNICEF works directly with governments, community-based organizations, and families to ensure access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation services in homes, health centers, and schools. As the lead agency for WASH during emergencies, UNICEF enabled 39.4 million people to gain or regain access to water services in 2022.

$5 could provide safe water for a child for up to 1 year. Water can make the difference between poverty and prosperity, conflict and peace, and life and death. This year's theme “Water for Peace” highlights water’s central role in fostering harmony and ensuring well-being across all facets of life.

With your support, UNICEF will continue to ensure that every child has access to safe water.
