"World Humanitarian Day is an annual reminder of the need to act to alleviate the suffering. It is also an occasion to honour the humanitarian workers and volunteers toiling on the frontlines of crises. I pay tribute to these dedicated women and men who brave danger to help others at far greater risk.” -@unitednations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon

Today and every day, we thank @water_for_good and their persistence in the face of crisis. The Central African Republic is one of the world’s least developed nations, and most challenging to work in. After years of conflict, the @un_ocha reports the following key figures:
384.3K internally displaced people
467.8K CAR refugees
2.3M people in need (over half the population)

When we are asked “Why do you support work in the CAR?”, our answer is simple: These people are more than just numbers. They are fellow members of humanity. We are proud to support Water for Good’s efforts to bring safe, clean water to our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world.
