Please support me in raising funds for this vital appeal which will provide clean drinking water to orphanages and villages in Yemen at risk of water-related diseases.

In Yemen, 18 million people are in urgent need of clean water. Access to clean water for drinking and sanitation is a basic human right for all. This is because lack of access to safe, sufficient and affordable water has a devastating effect on the health, dignity and prosperity of billions of people, and has significant consequences for the realisation of other human rights (UN).

According to the UN, only one third of Yemens population is connected to a piped water network. This has led to major outbreaks of cholera and Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD). In the 2017 outbreak, more than 1.3 million people were infected and over 2,800 people died.
