How water improves lives

Walking miles for water is a big problem for families such as Darling’s.

The time and exhausting effort it takes up each day means that everyone suffers, particularly if the water they find is dirty and harbouring diseases which also means that people get sick.

But, thanks to CAFOD, Darling and her neighbours now have a plentiful supply of water on tap.

Before this, they had to use water from the river. By drinking clean water, their health has improved.
