Background

·         1.5 million children die from lack of access to safe water every year.

·         Thousands of children die every day from diarrhea and other water sanitation and hygiene-related diseases.

·         Over 90 percent of deaths due to unsafe water and sanitation in the developing world occur in children under 5 years old.

·         More than 1 billion people use unsafe drinking water sources.

·         2.6 billion people (40 percent of the world’s population) lack basic sanitation facilities.

·         People who don’t have access to clean water and education are more likely to lack proper nutrition and healthcare.

·         More than 6000 people die each day and 2.2 million people die each year from disease associated with poor water and sanitary conditions.
