Over the past 20 years, 7,000 natural disasters have killed 1.17 million people in third-world countries.
Lesser developed countries lack the resources to protect vulnerable populations from disasters.
The effects of climate change and natural catastrophes are often devastating to people's lives in third-world countries. These disasters can have a huge impact on the economy, as well as the infrastructure that sustains it.
This is particularly true when there is not enough time for people to recover from such events before the next one hits leaving underserved communities constantly struggling to rebuild structures, grow nutritious foods, and maintain essential services such as medical care.
Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
43% of those deaths are children under five years old. Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.
In Africa alone, women spend 40 billion hours a year walking for water.

Clean water helps keep kids in school, especially girls.
Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don’t have to stay home for a week out of every month.
Women are responsible for 72% of the water collected in Sub-Saharan Africa.
When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.
How do we tackle climate-related crises?
We help people affected by climate change, natural disasters, and rising sea levels by providing them with continued access to clean water, food, shelter, and medical care when they need it most so that they can depend on essential services year-round.
This is done in direct response to their needs to ensure the entire community is self-reliant and independent now and for years to come.
