Water For Yemen Appeal
In Yemen, a lack of infrastructure due to the ongoing war means that natural water sources are very difficult to access. As the population increases, 50% of the population struggle to find enough clean water daily to survive. Wells cost thousands of pounds to build and with on-going shelling, there is no guarantee a well will survive once built. 70% of Yemenis live in rural areas with no access to a state-run water supply, meaning many of them drink and cook with dirty water as there is simply no alternative – causing the largest outbreaks of cholera the modern world has witnessed.
