Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) |Source of Life Children Foundation

Safe water and Good Hygiene Keep Children Alive.

Many vulnerable children walk long hours round trip across barren land every day to reach the nearest river. They have little time left for learning, playing or being a child.

This event aims to accelerate progress on water and sanitation, ensuring equitable access for all, particularly in Africa’s most vulnerable communities.
