A lack of clean water contributes to many challenges in a community, from an increased risk of waterborne diseases to the stress of managing household water needs, which often prevents women and girls from attending school or a earn income for their families.

Through our Children's SafeDrinking Water (CSDW) program, we provide children and families in communities around the world Clean drinking water has been available since 2004 with P&G's innovative water purification packages.

Working with more than 150 global defense and implementation partners, we are proud to announce that we have successfully reached our next milestone: the delivery of 20 billion liters safe drinking water to families without access to safe drinking water in more than 90 countries around the world.

“We are delighted to reach the 20 billion liter milestone in our program ‘Safe drinking water for children,’ said Marc Pritchard, P&G’s Chief Brand Officer.
