Meet Dieu Merci
Transcript

Twelve-year-old Dieu Merci can’t attend school because he can’t access clean water. He said, "My clothes are dirty, and I don't have a way to wash them, so I can't go to school.”(14:36) To reduce the spread of disease, Central African children cannot attend school in dirty clothes, so without clean water, Dieu Merci misses out on a chance for education.

We tell kids to dream big, reach for the stars, and that they can be anything they want to be.
Because we’ve always had it, many of us do not fully appreciate the power of clean water. Clean water brings health which helps make a happy child. A happy, healthy child can learn, empowering the child to live a full, impactful life.

Will you consider growing a dream with clean water? Any gift directly impacts the children in the Central African Republic.
