Dear friends,

There is immense power in the availability of clean water. It saves lives,
stops the spread of disease, grows food, and so much more.

As a Mercy Corps WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Program Senior
Officer, I’ve seen how my Syrian neighbors, forced to flee their homes,
have suffered from a lack of essential WASH services. That’s why our
response in Syria includes trucking in clean water for drinking,
constructing latrines, providing hygiene kits, building hand-washing
stations to prevent the spread of disease, and more.

This month marks 11 years of conflict in Syria, and one thing is certain:
whether directly or indirectly, water crises are often a consequence of
war.

At this moment, Ukrainians are facing water shortages, as shelling damages
water treatment facilities and pipelines, and power cuts mean water pumps
no longer function. According to the UN, some 12 million people in Ukraine
may need WASH services in the coming year.

This is why Mercy Corps works to ensure that people everywhere have access
to clean and safe water. Last year alone, our WASH programs reached more
than 13 million people across the globe.

In Somalia, Mercy Corps recently established water pipelines in camps for
displaced people who have fled their homes to seek safety from violent
conflict in the region.
