During my recent visit to Burkina Faso, I sat with Jean Bosco, the president of one of our local partner organizations. As we spoke with his engineering team about their work and the communities still waiting for clean water, he paused, and said:
“The funding from charity: water is a treasure.”
Right now, Burkina Faso is facing a severe humanitarian crisis. More than two million people have been internally displaced, many seeking refuge in the very communities where our partners are already working. Across the country, nearly 5.9 million people — almost a quarter of the population — now require humanitarian assistance. At the same time, global aid has fallen by billions of dollars.
That’s why, on my trip, I kept hearing the same message from our partners: the generosity of the charity: water community matters now more than ever. Your support provides something profoundly powerful: stability.
Thank you for being part of this community, and for turning compassion into water, dignity, and hope.
