Clean Water
Water Crisis

About two billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water, and roughly half of the world’s population experiences severe water scarcity for at least part of the year.
UNICEF estimates that 700 million people could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) predicts that 1.8 billion people will face “absolute water scarcity” by 2026.
Across the world, billions of people have no choice but to drink tainted and potentially harmful water, which puts them at risk of dying and exposes vulnerable populations to a wide range of debilitating diseases. Women and children are compelled to spend hours of their day, every day, traversing potentially dangerous terrain in order to collect clean water. Instead, they should be at home, in school, thriving, and content.





How can IHYA International help?
IHYA International Charity provides water assistance to regions that lack water by installing hand pumps. A hand pump is a compact, effective device that can provide access to clean drinking water for a home or a small group of people.
We are incredibly committed to ensuring that everyone has access to clean water. We have identified three primary areas in which we can have the most significant impact on bringing about positive social change.
- Promote health and safety through the provision of fresh water supplies.
- Build hand pumps to eliminate the need for women and children to go miles daily to collect water.
- Work directly with the populations we serve to promote sanitation, health, and hygiene within communities.
