CLEAN WATER FOR EVERY CHILD

Bringing water instead of school. Tilalem is a strong girl. Three times a week she gets up early and takes her hours-long walk to the only water source in her area.

Tilalem and her mother have to do so for their family. When bringing water, Tilalem can’t attend school and misses important content of her class.

Every child is entitled to clean and secure water. Because contaminated water often causes deadly diseases. United Internet for UNICEF supports water projects by UNICEF. They can help, for instance, to provide drinkable water in the Philippines’’ destroyed areas after the typhoon, to set up toilets and to educate about hygiene.
