Clean water

CHANGES EVERYTHING

771 million people in the world live without clean water. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. The majority live in isolated areas and spend hours each day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep girls out of school, but it steals the time women could be using to earn an income. And the water often carries diseases that make everyone sick.

charity: water is on a mission to end the global water crisis.Since 2006, we’ve funded clean water for more than 16.8 million people in 29 countries alongside 54 dedicated local partners.

ashoka arab region coordination sdg 6

Sameh Ghali, Egypt (Ashoka Fellow since 2006)

Sameh has introduced a new system of community participation in sanitation design, creating a sewage system for smaller villages to connect their household septic tanks by gravity-fed pipes to a communal filtering facility. These sewage systems are being promoted in villages who are deprived of hygienic living conditions and will not likely have government programs’ support in the next decade or two. Sameh encourages participation in the local communities for their own sanitation design and implementation, creating a sense of ownership and pride while improving environment and health conditions.
