12 Days and counting until our departure!

Clean water is essential for the health and productivity of a society yet... 

  • 84 million people lack access to safe water
  • 80% of diseases in the developing world are caused by a lack of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
  • Water-related illnesses result in 443 million days of school missed every year
  • 5.5 billion productive work days are lost every year to diarrhea disease
  • Treating a single case of a waterborne illness may cost more than providing a whole village with clean water for an entire year
  • A child dies from a water-related illness every 15 seconds and 6,000 children die every day

This Is Wrong!  Together We Can Make A Difference!
