It's NOT about a water well...

According to the Waterborne pathogens website,

"Waterborne disease is a global burden which is estimated to cause more than 3 million deaths and innumerable cases of sickness every year. Although the extent of the problem is hard to capture and numbers tend to be a gross underestimation due to the lack of a surveillance system, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 1996 that water-related disease caused the death of one child every 8 seconds (WHO 1996). In the meantime, the situation has rather gotten worse than better and contaminated water is still the leading cause of disease and death in developing countries."

In these settlements, the burden of obtaining water falls heavily on the shoulders of the women who reside there. Imagine the immense physical strain they endure as they tirelessly carry 41 pounds of water over a distance of 3.5 miles each and every day. These remarkable women go to great lengths to ensure that their families' basic needs are met, despite the grueling challenges they face.

However, Amigos believes that no one should have to endure such hardships, especially when it comes to accessing something as essential as clean water. That's where you come in. By joining forces with Amigos, you can become an integral part of this noble cause and contribute to providing safe and clean water to these families in their greatest time of need.

Your support will make a tangible difference in the lives of these refugees. With your help, Amigos will be able to establish much-needed water wells within the settlements, ensuring a sustainable and reliable water source for the entire community. This means that these brave women will no longer have to bear the back-breaking burden of carrying water over long distances, allowing them to focus on other crucial aspects of their lives, such as caring for their families and pursuing education or employment opportunities.

Moreover, the impact of your contribution will extend far beyond immediate relief. By providing access to safe and clean water, you will be promoting better health and hygiene practices within the settlements, ultimately leading to a reduction in waterborne diseases and improved overall well-being for all residents.

So, why wait? Seize this opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.
