Press Release
Water Mission staff and local volunteers are mobilizing in a coordinated global response covering multiple countries. COVID-19 can disproportionally impact displaced people—things we take for granted, easy access to safe water to wash hands, cook, and clean are absent for more than 2 billion people around the world. Our local volunteers and global staff are working hard to protect vulnerable communities including refugee settlements by focusing on raising awareness of preventative best practices, and continuing to reliably operate in sometimes deteriorating conditions providing safe water to thousands of people every day.
Without access to safe water, healthcare workers can’t protect themselves or their patients from COVID-19. And without safe water, populations can't protect themselves from spreading the illness. The need is great. Our amazing Charleston volunteers are coming to our headquarters on Monday at 10 am to safely pick up parts to put together safe water systems in the safety of their own home. Once completed, this equipment will be shipped to communities around the world aiding in the global fight against the spread of COVID-19. To protect vulnerable communities around the world, we are collaborating with partners on the ground and with partners like you to:
