Children get sick because without access to clean water, germs aren’t washed away after using the bathroom. But in Twachiyanda, Zambia, children like 4-year-old Munsanje get sick much less frequently now with access to clean water. World Vision also teaches children hygiene techniques, such as hand washing.

“Heavenly Father, You are good and merciful. Comfort children who suffer from frequent disease due to bad water. Preserve their lives when they are sick. Lead their communities to discover clean water sources close to them.”
