Dirty water or none at all? This Christmas you can help lift these impossible choices from a mums' shoulders.

Story

No more impossible choices. This Christmas we're standing with mums facing impossible choices for their children. Dirty water or none at all? A morsel of food each, or a bigger portion for one? School fees or materials to rebuild the family home? No mum should be forced to make these impossible choices. Climate chaos in South Sudan forced Adut to give her children dirty water. She knew it wasnt safe, but she had no choice. Not anymore. Adut now has access to a borehole near her home. That means clean water for her children to drink and peace of mind for a loving mum. Mums on the frontline of the climate crisis face impossible choices every day. But our decision to stand with them is an easy one. Your gifts this Christmas could help build more boreholes, provide seeds and farming tools, and give mums the chance to set up a small business. With clean water, nutritious food and ways to earn money, mums like Adut wont have to make such impossible choices.
