🌏 In a world full of crises, where do we start?

💧 Water.

It’s health, education, climate resilience & opportunity—all in one.

Clean water changes everything. For health, for life, forever.

So, what's your guess?

Access to clean water and sanitation empowers women and girls around the world💧 WaterAid Australia is changing that by providing safe water closer to home, freeing up time and giving girls the chance to stay in school and dream big.

Toilets are a human right, but globally, almost 1 in 5 people don't have a decent one of their own.⁠

This is a clear sign that the climate crisis is a water crisis.⁠ The latest report from the World Meteorological Organisation found that 2023 was the driest year for global rivers in over three decades.
⁠
No one can adapt to a world without water.⁠

Without clean water close to home...⁠
⁠
🕑 Women and girls have no choice but to walk for hours to collect water⁠
🤮 That water is often dirty and means people get sick often⁠
😷 Healthcare centres can't keep their equipment clean and treat patients properly

Something as basic as clean water has the power to transform lives 💙

The impacts of climate change are felt first by those who contribute the least to it. Like Stanis and his sister Rosa from Papua New Guinea. In the Pacific, rising sea levels and extreme weather events threaten vital water sources and sanitation services.

It’s #WorldChildrensDay! 🌏💧

Clean water is just the beginning. 2 billion people lack access to basic sanitation, putting their health and safety at risk. Simple solutions like clean toilets and a place to wash hands with soap can prevent deadly diseases and transform lives.

#SanitationForAll #HealthForAll

[WaterAid Australia 💧 @WaterAidAus]

Imagine a world where every child has access to safe water and sanitation from the moment they are born. 🌟 Sadly, over 800 children under five die every day from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. We're on a mission to change that 💧

📚🚰 Water + Education = Brighter Futures

Did you know that access to clean water and sanitation can increase school attendance significantly?💧 When children no longer have to spend hours collecting water, they can focus on their education and building brighter futures.

When bushfires hit, the world stepped up to help us 🙏 Now, with rising challenges from conflict, poverty & climate change, it's time to return the favour.

We believe clean water should be celebrated, just like these children celebrating their new water kiosk! 🫧⁠ 703 million people in the world – almost one in ten– don’t have clean water close to home 🚰⁠

You can help us change this 💙⁠

Outside her parents' home, three-year-old Yeabsira is full of joy as she uses clean water from a tap provided by WaterAid to wash her face.

The availability of clean water has a lifechanging impact.

Clean water is a human right. As we all adapt to the impacts of climate change, it is absolutely essential that water is within reach for everyone, everywhere💧

There's a lot to learn about toilets 🚽💧
