WATER
FACTS
Clean water is essential for life, but over a billion people
in the world do not have it. This and the lack of sanitation
result in 4 children dying every minute from water-related diseases.
The lack of clean water close to peoples homes also affects
peoples time, livelihoods and quality of life. Many women and
children in developing countries spend hours each day walking
miles to collect water. This water is usually dirty and unsafe
but they have no alternative. |
