Already, 785 million people worldwide don’t have a reliable source of clean water, but the more our climate changes, the more challenging this becomes. In Khulna, salty water has been washed into ponds and pumps following a number of natural disasters, including floods and storms. With no clean water to drink, cook and wash with, people are vulnerable to illness and can struggle to earn a living. 

Shockingly, 1 in 10 people around the world still don’t have access to water close to home. Without clean water close to home, families are forced to rely on far-away unclean water sources, wasting hours every day collecting water that isn't safe. The situation is getting increasingly urgent. Every day, already fragile water supplies are at even greater risk of disappearing completely.

But, by joining WaterAid’s Great Swim Series team, you can help tackle this injustice, bringing clean water to people around the world.

By working directly with communities and decision makers, WaterAid can help provide access to sustainable and reliable sources of clean water. With a steady supply of clean water there’s a chance for children to stay in school and get an education, for families to make a decent living, and for whole communities to lift themselves out of poverty. 

When a community gets clean water for the first time there's a tremendous sense of joy and celebration. They know that there's now the possibility of a healthier, happier life. You can help spread these joys and possibilities by joining WaterAid’s Great Swim Series team, and bringing clean water to people around the world.
