This #AwarenessWednesday we chose to dedicate to the inequalities in access to, and availability of clean drinking water.

11 October 2016. Eight year-old Huda collects water and takes a quick sip from a tap stand in western Aleppo.

According to World Health organization, 1 in 3 people still do not have access to safely managed drinking water services. Drinking contaminated water can lead to devastating and life-threatening diseases. Just waterborne diarrhoea diseases are responsible for 2 million deaths every single year.
