Safe Drinking Water!
It is important to remember that not all clear water is safe to drink.
Even transparent, seemingly pure water can harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, or parasites that pose health risks.

#Didyouknow the fashion industry relies on #water and especially #groundwater throughout the production process for textiles and garments?
About 2,500 liters of water is used to produce just 1 cotton shirt!
Amazing right?
Fashion is a thirsty business.

Water is a right, not a privilege. 💧
Yet girls/women in the world spend 200 million hours each day fetching water. Wasting valuable time during which they should be in school.
Easy access to clean water will facilitate school presence for many girls & women.
