DELIVERING CLEAN DRINKING WATER

Over 1 million people do not have access to a clean drinking water supply. This more than half of households of Gaza, Palestine. The conflict has destroyed the region, disrupting one of the most basic needs of survival - water. Water filtration systems are broken, spreading raw sewage and transferring bacteria and disease. With Food for Change Singapore, we provide a long-term, sustainable water desalination system that can provide 24-hour access to clean drinking water to residents an critical infrastructure such as hospitals and schools. $360 SGD will help provide a year worth of water supply with a water desalination plant.

10 million people lack access to clean drinking water in Myanmar. Amongst them, refugee populations are the most vulnerable group of all. Internally displaced personnel (IDPs) fall victim to water-borne illnesses, extreme dehydration and death. Your contribution has supported our campaign to provide a clean and safe supply of drinking water through 30 Wateroam water filters to 11 village and internally displaced person communities.

More than 4 million refugees have fled Ukraine since the conflict began. Around 30 percent of the people in need are elderly. Humanitarian needs are expected to increase massively as the conflict continues to intensify.

Why Clean Drinking Water?

Contaminated water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. 43% of those deaths are children under five years old. (WHO)

Every S$1 invested in clean water can yield S$5–16 in economic returns. It's a solid investment; access to clean water is perhaps the single most powerful tool for sparking economic growth that humanity has ever known. (WHO)

The provision of safe water and hygienic conditions is essential to protecting human health during all infectious disease outbreaks, including the COVID-19 outbreak. (WHO)
