The Water Crisis: Why Clean Water Matters Around the world, millions still lack safe water close to home. Families often walk long distances for water that is not safe to drink, leading to preventable illness and lost opportunities. Health Dignity Waterborne diseases keep children from thriving and strain local clinics Time Contaminated water sources lead to preventable illness and suffering Women and children may spend hours daily fetching water instead of learning or earning Education Long journeys to water sources consume valuable time and energy Clean water at school and in communities boosts attendance, especially for girls More time for studying improves educational outcomes and future prospects Safe water means privacy, safety, and stability for households ICNA Relief Canada brings clean water right to the doorstep of communities in need
Mandate and Objectives Our Mandate Geographic Focus Deliver life-changing water access while building local capacity to manage and sustain water resources for generations to come.

Impact of Clean Water Access Clean water transforms daily life and the future of an entire generation. When communities gain access to safe water, multiple aspects of life improve: Health Community Resilience Agriculture & Livestock Reduced diarrhea and waterborne diseases; fewer clinic visits Education Improved child growth and development More time for school when not collecting water Economic Opportunity Improved attendance, especially for girls Time saved translates into small enterprises Better household income and financial stability Irrigation support improves crop yields Healthier livestock boosting food security Reliable water builds stability during droughts Communities face challenges with dignity and cohesion This is the lasting impact your support enables.

A community well near home provides clean, reliable water with far-reaching benefits.
