You may not know it, but water-related diseases are the biggest killer of children in Africa.

A reliable water supply and clean toilets could stop the world’s most vulnerable children being exposed to these deadly, yet easily preventable, diseases.

I’ve seen young children lose their lives to water-related diseases. But I’ve also seen how willing communities are to unite in hard manual labor, digging wells, making bricks to build latrines, and learning how to maintain pumps so that their families have the chance of a healthier, more prosperous future.

They just need some support.
