Problem

Twenty percent of the world's population lacks access to clean water. Compounding this is the fact that, when disasters strike, water systems are often the first to fail. Unsafe drinking water can cause diarrheal disease, parasitic infection, or even poisoning, and ensuring a clean water supply is an integral part of IMC's response to any crisis, including natural disasters, droughts, and conflicts that prevent people from accessing safe water sources.

The Gift

Your gift helps IMC to provide disaster victims with a clean supply of water for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. This prevents dehydration and disease and improves sanitation. If you live in the U.S., your country is one of ten that, combined, use 65% of the world's water. When you give to support clean water, you let the rest of the world know that you don't mind sharing.
