children die each day from contaminated water


30,000 children die each day from contaminated water
85% of all diseases in African children under 5 are caused by water-borne illnesses
The United Nations reports that 20% of the world’s population struggles to gain access to safe drinking water every day
Technology exists to eradicate such suffering, but past efforts have failed to achieve sustainable results .
