PROVIDING SAFE DRINKING WATER

Help bring safe drinking water to government schools in Telangana.

THIS IS PRANAV'S STORY.

Pranav loves coming to school.

Water quality can be affected by contamination at the source, during storage or before it reaches the child. UNICEF has highlighted water-quality concerns in rural schools, including risks associated with contaminants such as iron, arsenic and fluoride.

When children fall sick, the consequences can go beyond health.

They can mean missed classes, disrupted learning and lost school days.

SO, WHAT CAN WE DO?

IDENTIFY THE NEED.

Could something as basic as drinking water be putting children at risk?

Inadequate water quality and poor WASH conditions can increase children's exposure to preventable water-related illnesses. UNICEF identifies water quality as an important challenge in rural schools in India.

And this is why safe drinking water at school matters.
