Global heat waves highlight the stark disparity in access to basics like clean water. Millions face daily struggles while some enjoy pools and AC. Imagine waking up to no running water – a reality for many.
A project in India showed a pregnant woman using a cart to fetch water, emphasizing the luxuries we often take for granted. Yet, the joy of families accessing clean water for the first time is profound.
