The good news is, you can help. Walk in solidarity. Take on the Walk for Water challenge by walking 155km in March or 5km a day, and raise money to help make clean water a reality for everyone, everywhere.

No woman should have to risk her life when giving birth.

Yet, every two seconds, a woman gives birth in a healthcare facility without clean water, sanitation and hygiene.

This means that women can’t wash themselves or their newborns after birth, midwives can’t wash their hands or sterilise equipment – putting them all at serious risk of harm from preventable infections and sepsis.

Every woman, everywhere has the right to a clean, safe birth. It is essential to achieving gender equality in healthcare.
