What is the Global Water Crisis?
Currently, there are 663 million people in the world who do not have access to clean water. This means that communities all over the world, women, and children walk for miles every day to collect dirty water from whatever standing water source is available to their rural communities.
Open, unprotected water sources like rivers, ponds, and swamps are shared with animals that both drink and defecate in the same water source that humans are forced to drink from and this is often the only choice people have.
Drinking from these contaminated water sources causes people to get easily-preventable waterborne diseases; diarrhea and dysentery alone kill more children under five than AIDS, malaria, and all world violence COMBINED (including war).
