Dear Mother Jones Reader,
When you visit a doctor, you expect care, safety, and healing – all of which rely on clean water.
For over 35 years, Water For People has helped bring safe water to millions. But 1 in 4 people still lack access. Your help is urgently needed.
By supporting Water For People, you can help prevent illness before it starts.
At Nghambi Health Clinic in rural Tanzania, families come seeking healing, reassurance, and hope. Mothers arrive for prenatal visits. Children come for treatment when they're sick. Neighbors seek care for malaria, dehydration, and other illnesses.
For years, however, the clinic lacked reliable running water and safe sanitation facilities.
Imagine caring for patients without water to wash your hands. Imagine helping deliver a baby without vital hygiene resources.
This was the reality Nurse Grace overcame every day.
Safe water plays a critical role:
No healthcare worker should have to provide patient care without reliable water.
No pregnant mother should have to bring her own water to the hospital for a safe and hygienic birth.
No patient should have to choose between seeking care and facing unsanitary conditions.
