Almost a billion people on Earth don’t have access to clean and safe drinking water. That’s one in eight of us. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation causes 80% of diseases and kills more people than all forms of violence, including war. The United Nations predicts that one tenth of the global disease burden can be prevented simply by improving water supply and sanitation.

Donate, spread the word
Enough funding will save lives by providing access to water to those that need it. You can help this cause with a donation. You can also start a fundraising campaign or spread the word trough social networks. Even with a small effort, you can make a difference.
