Today, our collective need for safe water is more important than ever. Right now, proper hand washing is one of the main ways to save lives.
In these uncertain times, as the coronavirus pandemic threatens lives around the world, it presents an even greater risk in countries with fragile health systems and to those living in extreme poverty.
Our teams on the ground are ready to help. We provide access to critical water, sanitation and hygiene solutions in remote, often forgotten communities in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Philippines and Uganda. Our hygiene ambassadors are currently educating the most vulnerable on preventing the spread of this virus – including proper hand washing. These interventions directly combat the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to adapt to the constantly evolving environment, making sure that our critical work continues, while keeping our teams safe.
