Children are unable to go to school as they are needed to support with collecting water, and women too are unable to work and have less time to focus on their families and themselves. Therefore, by providing clean water, you help create more precious time for education, for working, for community, for religion and for family. In a similar vein, clean water can help boost economies and the financial situation of families and communities. While clean water helps saves lives by reducing the risk of the spread of water-borne diseases, it also means families have fewer medical bills. This means people are able to afford more nutritious food, better education, clothing and overall a higher standard of living and quality of life. Clean water can also support in farming, growing crops and raising animals, thus helping impoverished communities improve their food security and livelihood opportunities.
