Phuphadoun

Male, 7 years old
Kuleaen, Cambodia

In Kuleaen, a rural community in northern Cambodia, 95% of the most vulnerable families still lack access to clean water. Here, children don't just walk for water - they climb for it. Each day, they make the steep 3-kilometre trek up the mountains, often more than once, to collect dirty water from ponds and shallow streams. Clean water is scarce everywhere. Nearly half of the schools in Kuleaen have no safe drinking water at all.

Mwiya

Male, 8 years old
Sioma, Zambia

In Sioma, 49% of households lack access to clean water. Children and their families fetch water from contaminated streams and shallow wells. With no water systems in schools, students also need to fetch water from nearby sources for their use in school. The lack of sewage systems and widespread open defecation make things worse - waterborne diseases are a daily threat, putting lives, especially young ones, at constant risk.

Blessing Emmanuel

Funyula, Kenya

In Funyula, inadequate sanitary facilities, water supply exposes children to poor hygiene and sanitation in their homes and schools. 36% lack access to clean water resulting in a high prevalence of diarrhea.Deforestation results in the destruction of water catchment, drying up streams, aggravating the water shortage situation and leading to prolonged droughts.

Dante Jr

Male, 9 years old
Bohol, Philippines

The number one cause of illness among children in Bohol is diarrhea/gastroentertitis due to lack of access to basic safe water supply. Reduced water table levels have led to water contamination and saline intrusion. The lack of functional potable water supply in schools where students have to get water from deep well or rainwater also impacts the well-being of children in school.
