This we're sharing images from our work sites that prove that images can tell a thousand words. From striking water infrastructure, to the landscapes that feed water sources to people's homes, to the flow of water itself, we never take these sights for granted at how they impact people's lives day to day.

Access to clean water and decent toilets at school promotes dignity, self-reliance and the opportunity to educate one another about good hygiene.

Ms. Traoré Monique, is a teacher in a primary school in Burkina Faso. She’s observed much change in the student body of 264 students since the installation of reliable clean water access and decent toilets, all part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ project to strengthen access to inclusive and climate-resilient water, sanitation and hygiene.

“Before the [WaterAid] project intervened in our school, there was not the necessary organization around hygiene but now there is the Denkan [water, sanitation and hygiene] club with sub-clubs. The awareness-raising and organization put in place promoted a change in behavior and the adoption of good hygiene practices in the school. Even the students no longer wait to be told to clean places, I mean the yard, the toilets, so on and so forth.”

Access to clean water unlocks more than just improved health, they offer meaningful change that unlocks a person’s dignity and sense of resilience.

"The water situation here is actually very good. Sometimes when people come from other places and they come here, they observe this. They actually say that you guys are very lucky to have these kind of facilities, because this isn't something that's very common," says Grace, a patient at the Chinguluwe Heathcare Facility, in Malawi.

Water access in healthcare facilities should be common. Together, let's make it happen.
