A recent economic and political upheaval plunged the island nation of Sri Lanka into a humanitarian crisis, plummeting many Sri Lankans into poverty.
Even though the situation has improved, almost 4 million people remain food insecure. Countless people also don’t have access to clean water, and drought has made water even more scarce for those living in rural areas. As a result, more people are drinking unsafe water just to survive, putting themselves at risk of waterborne illnesses like cholera and kidney disease.
