A WATER ACCESS TO ALL PROGRAM

VIETNAM

IMPACTS OF THE WATER CRISIS

Waterborne Diseases: The lack of clean water sources exposes communities to waterborne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrheal illnesses. These diseases can have severe consequences on health, particularly affecting vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.

Inadequate Sanitation: Poor sanitation facilities and improper waste disposal contribute to water contamination, further exacerbating the water crisis. The absence of proper sanitation facilities impacts public health and poses environmental concerns.

Rural Disparities: Rural areas often bear the brunt of the water crisis, with limited infrastructure and access to clean water sources. As a result, communities in these regions face daily struggles to secure safe drinking water.

Climate Change Impact: Vietnam is vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which can lead to more frequent and severe water-related challenges like flooding, droughts, and saltwater intrusion. These factors intensify the existing water crisis.

Social and Economic Implications: The lack of access to clean water affects education, livelihoods, and overall socio-economic development. Women and children, primarily responsible for water collection, often have limited opportunities for education and economic empowerment.

OUR MISSION

Our project aims to address the clean water crisis in Vietnam by funding clean water initiatives, including the distribution of Sawyer water filters and organizing clean water trips. With your support, we strive to bring the essential gift of clean water to the communities in Vietnam, alleviating the burden of waterborne illnesses and paving the way for a healthier and more prosperous future.

Join us in our mission to make a positive impact in Vietnam and beyond, where the availability of clean water is not just a necessity but a fundamental human right. Together, we can turn the tide against the clean water crisis and bring hope to those in need.

OUR IMPACT

In Vietnam, W.A.T.A. has been actively working to provide water filters to remote villages, significantly improving access to clean drinking water for local communities. This project is ongoing, with future efforts focused on expanding our reach to additional villages in the surrounding area and continuing to support the communities in need while working with out partners on the ground!
