One of the most important ways we can make our planet healthier, wealthier, and happier is to give clean water to those who need it. More than 800 million people live in water-scarce areas, making food production difficult and exposing people to deadly waterborne diseases. That’s why Embrace Relief started its Clean Water Initiative.
Since 2013, Embrace Relief has been building new water wells in the African countries of Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria and Kenya – each well providing entire communities with the clean, safe water that they need to thrive. Join Embrace Relief in bringing water to vulnerable communities in Africa by donating to our Clean Water Campaign today!
