The infographic below covers several reasons why access to water is important for building sustainable communities. Food For The Poor supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #6: ensuring water access and sanitation for all.

The goal is to work with communities to produce improved and safely managed water sources.

Women and children are most often responsible for collecting water in many regions of the Caribbean and Latin America.

Traveling to remote areas to gather water, which often involves navigating rough terrain on foot, requires a lot of time.
