LVRSustainable supports the work of Oxfam by guaranteeing 500 liters of water, enough for a family to drink, wash and cook for a week.
Every day, it takes 200 million hours for women around the world to get clean water.
By doing this, women, who are traditionally responsible for fetching water, will have more time for their personal and professional growth, reducing the social inequalities that make them more vulnerable to discrimination, abuse and violence.
Today, one in three people in the world cannot access clean water sources for drinking or washing. One in two people lack sanitation, putting them at risk of contracting diseases such as COVID-19, cholera, typhoid or dysentery, which can claim more lives than war in already impoverished countries. Before the pandemic, water shortages killed about 830,000 people each year, forcing them to drink and wash with dirty or contaminated water, and led to 800 children under 5 falling ill every day.
“Bringing clean water to those who need it”: this is the goal that Oxfam – the humanitarian organization dedicated to reducing global poverty through development projects and humanitarian aid – is launching together with LVRSustainable through the new campaign “GIVE WATER, SUSTAIN WOMEN”, carried out with an online campaign on the LUISAVIAROMA website.
