SAFE WATER FOR COMMUNITIES: 2 BILLION PEOPLE LACK ACCESS TO SAFE WATER. THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS IMPACTS EVERY FACET OF LIFE. CHILDREN MISS SCHOOL DUE TO DEADLY WATER-RELATED ILLNESSES. PARENTS STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES WHEN SO MANY HOURS ARE SPENT COLLECTING WATER. ACCESS TO SAFE WATER IS LIFE-CHANGING FOR THESE MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. IT BUILDS HEALTH AND HOPE, CREATING EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN HELP BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS IS ENORMOUS AND URGENT, BUT THERE IS HOPE.

WATER MISSION SERVES MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN FORCED TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES DUE TO VIOLENCE, PERSECUTION, POLITICAL INSTABILITY, FOOD INSECURITY, OR NATURAL DISASTERS. WITHIN REFUGEE SETTINGS, SOUND ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND SPEED ARE CRUCIAL.
