It’s not easy to make the transition from beautiful, safe Melbourne to witnessing extreme poverty in the most remote communities in the world. Working with Thankyou has given me the opportunity to work alongside passionate, world-changers who exhibit true reliance and strength and who are committed to transforming the lives of people in poverty through clean water, sanitation and hygiene education.

How Thankyou’s new hand wash collaboration with homewares label Sage x Clare is helping us get clean water and sanitation to more people like Joanina.

“We used to suffer so much before but now we do not anymore.”

They’re on the frontline, saving the lives of mothers and children in rural communities. Every. Single. Day.

Meet Bithika, also known as Biti.

“I feel very independent and confident,” Momotaz proudly tells our team. “Through these programs, I learnt that my voice should be valued too,”

At Thankyou, we believe every person has equal value and the right to a life free from poverty.

It is not okay that 844 million people around the world don’t have access to safe water and 2.4 billion people don’t have access to safe water!
