Our Work: Why Water Matters

  • Water is the essence of life, playing an indispensable role in both biological and social systems. It is the foundation of human survival and well-being, enabling critical bodily functions such as nutrient absorption, waste removal, and temperature regulation.
  • Beyond its physiological importance, water is vital for maintaining ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, fostering plant growth, and ensuring agricultural productivity.
  • However, for communities in the Sanag Region, the scarcity of clean and reliable water creates severe challenges that ripple through every aspect of life.
