Here's a way to support every child's right to clean, safe water paid UNICEFUSA
UNICEF is working to improve access to safe drinking water in southern Madagascar, where more than 90 percent of homes lack even the most basic sanitation facilities.Today, billions of people struggle to manage without safe water — in their homes, workplaces, farms and in their children’s schools. The daily toll on women and children — especially girls — is severe, as hours that could be spent earning a living or learning are lost to the search for clean water.
In times of crisis — during conflicts or natural disasters — water can become dangerously scarce. When water runs become unsafe, or when pipes and filtration systems have been damaged, children get sick, schools and hospitals stop functioning and disease and malnutrition spread. This World Water Day, you can take meaningful action to solve the water crisis facing the world's most vulnerable people. Purchase a UNICEF Inspired Gift and UNICEF will deliver lifesaving water supplies to children and families in need. A young girl pumps water from an underground well in Papua New Guinea. A little over a year ago, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit the region, destroying public infrastructure and disrupting the water supply.
Purchase a hand-operated water pump for a village or school to send clean safe water to children and their families. A young boy washes his hands in southeast Côte d'Ivoire, where one out of three people living in rural areas does not have access to clean water, making this simple yet lifesaving habit a nearly impossible task.

So far, UNICEF has provided drinking water to more than 1.3 million people in public spaces, health facilities and schools.
