In weeks like this, many of us have options. We can grab a bottle from the fridge, stop at a café, or fill up a glass at the tap. When we feel the heat, we can do something about it.
For 2.1 billion people around the world, that's not an option.
Instead of turning on a tap at home, they walk. Often for hours, carrying heavy vessels on their backs, on their heads, or on their bikes. And when they get home – hot, exhausted, and hours behind on the rest of their day – the water they've collected may not even be safe to drink.
Think about how you feel after a few hours in this heat. Now imagine if there was no safe water close by to cool you down. That's the reality billions of people around the world are facing right now.
Donate now to help families beat the heat with safe water at home.
