Every day, poor water, sanitation, and hygiene contribute to the deaths of 1,800 children younger than age 5.

Eight-year-old Rovena Lazaro and 11-year-old Juliyeta Matthews, who benefit from  World Vision’s programs in Malawi, pray  for children and families who need clean water for drinking, bathing, and cooking.

Dear Lord, just like you provided water to children of Israel in the wilderness, we are also praying that you provide clean water to families and communities. Heal all children around the world who are suffering from diarrhea because of drinking unclean water. Amen.

Every day, poor water, sanitation, and hygiene contribute to the deaths of 1,800 children younger than age 5. 

Today, add your prayers to Rovena and Juliyeta’s on behalf of 768 million people around the world who lack access to clean water.
