Clean Water & Sanitation Fund
Join us in bringing clean water and sanitation to 99,748 people including 30,194 children in 2025. Your support to the Clean Water & Sanitation Fund will enable us to provide clean water and improved sanitation through our intervention projects in these countries:
Malawi
Build a water supply system and construct disability- and gender-appropriate water points to bring clean water to homes.
Bangladesh
Build deep tube wells and install solar-powered water points to ensure clean water access during and after disasters.
Vietnam
Fix wastewater systems and set up handwashing stations in urban slum areas to reduce high rates of waterborne diseases.
Clean Water through Child Sponsorship
When you choose to sponsor a child, you transform the lives of children in holistic ways, including the aspect of clean water. You enable lasting change that impacts not just one child, but their entire community.
Together, we can end the water crisis – one child, one community at a time.
Challenges Children Face
Water-borne Diseases
Infections and diseases spread easily through unclean water in rural and slum areas.
Unprotected Water Sources
Rivers and open water sources are susceptible to contamination from animals and human activities.
Poor Sanitation & Hygiene
Practices such as open defecation and limited handwashing cause preventable diseases.
Lack of Infrastructure
Without proper water pipelines, children – usually girls – walk hours, multiple times a day, to fetch water.
Geographic Constraints
Limited natural sources prevent the poor from having access to water.
World Vision's Work
We provide communities with sustainable clean water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions that open doors to health and lasting change.
Sanitation
Build latrines to protect people & water sources from faecal contamination; educate communities on household sanitation.
Hygiene
Educate communities, schools and health centres on proper handwashing and hygiene to prevent disease.
Clean Water
Build boreholes, water storage and distribution systems; empower communities to maintain these water systems.
