Water is Life

Be the reason someone lives today

Every day, millions of people wake up without access to something we often take for granted—clean, safe water. For communities across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the simple act of drinking water can lead to illness, hardship, and even death.
At Penny Appeal Australia, we believe that no one should suffer from thirst. Through our Thirst Relief program, you can help us build sustainable water wells that transform lives—one drop at a time.

Why Water?
  • 785 million people globally lack access to clean drinking water.
  • 5,000 children die every day from waterborne diseases.
  • In many regions, women and children walk hours each day just to collect water—often dirty and unsafe.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Your Well. Their Lifeline.

When you build a well through Penny Appeal, you’re not just giving water—you’re giving:

  • Health: Clean water prevents deadly diseases and improves hygiene.
  • Time: Children can go to school instead of fetching water.
  • Opportunity: Families can grow crops, raise livestock, and build a future.

Why is clean water so important?
Globally, contaminated water causes up to 80% of illnesses in developing regions. Thousands of children die daily due to unsafe drinking water.
What impact does a well have?
Wells enable better health, reduce time spent collecting water (often by children), facilitate education access, and support economic empowerment, especially for women.
