safe water.
That’s about 1 in every 8 people.

women and girls walk on average
over 3.5 miles each day to fetch
water.
Women often spend more than 15
hours per week collecting water.
Did you know?
More than 3.4 million people
die each year from harmful
water, sanitation and
hygiene-related causes.
That’s more than the entire
population of Wales.
