Louise's children hold eachother in Buporo Camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Give clean water to families in the DRC

The armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has forced thousands of people to flee for their lives.
 
Louise and her family escaped conflict only to face a new danger – deadly, dirty water. Cut off from help, Louise lost her husband and three of children to disease in just one week.
 
They survived the violence, but they couldn’t survive without clean water. And right now, families like Louise’s need your help.
 
Access to clean water, hygiene and sanitation is vital. It can save lives, keep families safe and give kids a chance for a happy, healthy future.
