From the respected folks at charity: water.

663 million people on our planet drink dirty and dangerous water. Actually, they don’t just drink it, they work for it. They invest hours every day. And not only does it keep them out of school, or take up time that they could be using to earn money for their family, it also kills them.

That’s not an exaggeration. Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

But access to clean water changes that.

Clean water improves health, gives kids more time in school, empowers women, boosts economies, and gives hope for a brighter future.
