RESOURCES FOR KIDS
This is the impact on kids
When homes or schools don't have water or bathrooms, the impact on kids is huge.
Children are often the ones who walk every day to collect water. This can take hours – time spent carrying heavy buckets instead of learning at school or playing with friends.
And when homes or schools don't have bathrooms, that means trying to find a place to go outside – often without privacy – or waiting until it's dark out. This can be dangerous for children and means waste is contaminating their environment.
See how the children in your life can learn more about the water crisis, get involved with Water For People, and help other kids around the world thrive.
