Gaza Water Wells
Over 97% of water extracted from Gaza aquifers is unfit for human consumption. Let's help build water wells in Gaza for those that need it the most.

Nearly 2 million people in Gaza are affected by widespread water shortages. This includes 983,623 women and 991,428 children who are exposed to numerous public health risks related to poor water quality and poor wastewater collection and treatment.
