Your gift can give families like Korrie’s a safe, reliable source of water – right where they live

Right now, communities across the Pacific share the same crisis: the wells are running dry. 

“…we struggled to get water. We had to go there even though the distance is far, we still go until the dry season is over”
– Korrie, mother of 5, Timor-Leste

Across the Pacific, families face the same reality: long walks for dirty water, used sparingly for only the essentials like drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Your gift will help communities come together to build concrete water tanks and bring clean water piped to their homes. With your support, Oxfam will provide the materials, tools and training, while local families do the building themselves.

For Korrie and her neighbours, a water tank means that the long, dangerous walk for water is over. Instead of walking for hours to collect a few buckets of dirty water, she can quickly turn the tap and have clean, safe right at home.
