Every 21 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease, and as little as Dh25 from you can help reverse this. The UAE aims to help prevent deaths caused by unsafe drinking water through a nationwide campaign called the UAE Water Aid, launched on June 28 by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Here is a list of where and how to donate:
