Water purification training and equipment

People living in the Diossong area of Senegal have fetched water from traditional wells for centuries. But often the water they collect is dirty, and this causes illnesses like cholera and diarrhoea, especially amongst children. To combat this, ActionAid is helping communities learn how to use a purification solution and make the water safe to drink.
Your gift could be used to train local women so they know the importance of clean water and understand how good hygiene can help prevent waterborne diseases. This way, children will stay healthy and be able to look forward to a healthier, happy life.
