Every day, dirty water steals irreplaceable time from women and girls who shoulder the weight of the world's water crisis: literally. They carry forty pounds of water on their backs from the nearest source, walking before sunrise, sleeping beside wells, making trip after trip. Hours disappear to meet a basic, solvable need. That stolen time costs women and girls vital opportunities to study, earn an income, or invest in their futures, all for water teeming with preventable diseases.

But clean water changes everything. 100% of your donation to Dentists of Arlington 741's campaign goes directly to clean water projects in Ethiopia, so women and girls can reclaim their time. Girls can attend school full-time. Women can support their families, start businesses, lead, or even just be.

Clean water doesn't just improve health; it restores time, creates opportunity, and empowers women and girls.
