Access to clean water is life-changing, especially for children. Around the world, billions of people still lack this basic human right, putting their health, education, and future at risk. Without safe drinking water, children are more vulnerable to deadly diseases, spend hours each day collecting water instead of learning, and face barriers that limit opportunities for generations.
But solutions exist. Clean water helps prevent illnesses, supports children’s ability to attend school, and gives families more time to work, play, and thrive. Household water treatment innovations, like the P&G Purifier of Water packet from the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program, are already making a powerful difference.
Each packet — the size of a teabag — can purify 10 liters of contaminated water in just 30 minutes, using only a bucket, a spoon, and a cloth. Together, these packets have already provided more than 24 billion liters of clean water across 100+ countries.
Global Citizen is proud to partner with the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program to raise awareness and call for solutions that ensure every child can grow up healthy and hopeful. By taking this quiz, you’ll learn why clean water matters and how you can help create a world where no child is denied this essential right.
