Across the globe, millions of women and girls wake before dawn —not to go to school or work — but to begin their daily search for water.
For mothers the only water available is dirty and dangerous – but it’s all there is to keep their children alive. For girls, collecting water means walking for hours under the scorching sun, missing school and putting their futures at risk.
The global water crisis is not just about thirst. It’s about safety, dignity, and the chance at a future. But there is hope — and you can be part of the solution.
With your support, we can provide sustainable, life-changing solutions: wells, water pumps and tanks that bring clean water directly to communities in need. Your gift can also help deliver emergency survival kits with soap, and purification tablets to prevent deadly disease.
Clean, safe water means so much more than something to drink. It means girls can go to school, women can work or rest during pregnancy, and families can live with dignity and health.

Over 6 hours a day, every day
For the past 26 years, Joaquima in Mozambique has walked more than six hours a day to collect water from a dirty river.
“I walk when I am pregnant. I walk when I am sick. I walk even after giving birth,” Joaquima says. “There is no clear, clean water here. This is the only water we have. So, we have to drink it to survive.”
This was life for Joaquima, her four children, and three orphaned nieces she now cares for. Like millions of women and girls around the world, she carried the burden of the water crisis every single day — time, health, and hope slowly slipping away.
But thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Joaquima’s life has changed.
With support from CARE and our local partners, Joaquima’s village now has access to clean, safe water through a new well and water tank. She no longer walks for hours under the hot sun. Her children are no longer constantly sick from drinking contaminated water.
“I used to be so tired, every day. But now, we have time to rest, time for each other. I feel peace,” she says.
This transformation was only possible because of people like you.
Please GIVE NOW to bring clean water, dignity, and hope to more women like Joaquima.
