Believe it or not, 663 million people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water! In the world today, the relationship between water and people becomes a crucial interaction in result that lacking access to clean water affects the nation as a whole not just the individual. Without this interaction, it becomes what is known as the Global Water Crisis.
Women and children walk 3.75 miles a day to collect dirty water! They carry on average a 44-pound jerry can back to their village. This not only is affecting their health but it is affecting their schooling! Children and women don't have time to further their education because of the amount of time they focus on catching water that is going to make them sick!
MAIN POINTS.
1. The nearest water source is not safe to drink and can cause ILLNESS and even DEATH.
2. Children miss SCHOOL because they are either sick from water-borne diseases or busy collecting water.
REMEMBER... This crisis is entirely preventable. Let’s not stop until every child has safe water. WATER IS GOLD, TAKE A STAND BY GIVING WATER.
