Millions of refugees and displaced families around the world face daily challenges in accessing clean water. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is working on the ground and dedicated to providing essential support to people forced to flee.​

Refugees often live in areas with harsh conditions with limited access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services. Without toilets, water sources can quickly become contaminated. Without accessible safe water, women and girls must often travel long distances to find clean water, increasing their risk of gender-based violence. Without soap and hygiene products, diseases can spread more easily in communities.​
