37-year-old Fati lives in Niger – a country where 2 out of 3 rural health clinics do not have clean water or basic sanitation. Thanks to our donor partners, World Vision brought clean water to HER local health clinic in December – a game-changer for Fati and her new baby. Thank you. #SeeHer #SheCan have a clean and safe birth #IWD2022
