The first thing that comes to her mind when she wants to help is whether the 'support' (of any kind) is going to the right people. This initiative not only focuses on the problem, countries are facing worldwide but it also takes you through the process to feel more confident. She is glad that she got the opportunity of educating the audience about the troubles people face and how she can make it better by helping them. 

Globally, 5,000 children die from drinking dirty water every day. 785 million people in this world do not have access to safe, clean water. In developing countries, around 80% of all illnesses are due to contaminated water and poor sanitation.

With proper sanitation and easy access to fresh, clean water, communities can flourish and people everywhere can stay happy and healthy. Our Thirst Relief appeal provides clean water to communities in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East by building deep wells, setting and providing sustainable water and hygiene solutions.

With your Thirst Relief donations, you’ll be providing entire communities not only with the simple gift of clean, but you’ll be providing them with the pathway out of poverty. Dependable access to safe, clean water means that drinking, cooking, washing, watering crops, hydrating animals and no longer come with the threat of disease. 

It also allows women and children fetching water to do so with ease, instead of having to travel for miles, carrying heavy buckets of water. This saves them time and effort, giving them the chance to go to school, work or spend time looking after their families.
