Information about the Water Crisis
Traverse the desert, and then ye can tell, what treasures exist in the cold deep well,
Sink in despair on the red parch'd earth, and then ye may reckon what water is worth.
- Eliza Cook
Did you Know?
...that one out of every five people throughout the world lack access to safe drinking water - over 1 billion people.
...that the areas most affected by water shortages are in North Africa and Western and South Asia.
...that at any one time, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from water-borne diseases.
Are you Aware?
...that poor health resulting from inadequate water and sanitation robs the children of schooling and the adults of earning power, a situation made worse for the women and girls by the daily chore of collecting water.
Together more than 2.2 million people, mostly in developing countries, die each year from diseases associated with poor water and sanitary conditions.
