Without a reliable source of clean water close to home, people have no choice but to collect dirty water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. This can spread deadly diseases like cholera. It often means a long walk to the nearest stream or river, usually for , so there's little time or energy left for paid work or school. Whole communities are held back, simply because they don't have clean water.
