Despite the fundamental role of water for human health, survival, and development, every one out of ten people does not have access to clean water today. 748 million people worldwide do not have access to adequate sanitation, and every minute a child dies from a water-related disease.
The emergency solution adopted by Embrace Relief is installing water wells with hand pumps in regions with little or no access to drinking water. In most of the countries with no permanent fresh surface water, it is possible to provide access to clean water by utilizing underground water resources.
