Clean water is a human right, and 2.1 billion people don’t have access to it. So how should we get water to places that don’t have enough of it? It starts with understanding which region lacks the most access to clean water. As of 2026, Africa is the continent with the largest number of countries without access to clean water. We should be able to recognize our place in society and, if we are able, donate monetarily or volunteer to support human rights internationally when the U.S. government won’t.
