Worldwide eight hundred million people don't have access to clean, safe water. Additionally, two and a half million people do not have safe, clean places to use the toilet. I cannot imagine, can you? Sadly, 2,000 children die every day from preventable diseases due to this issue, and an unbelievable amount of others cannot attend school. Women cannot work because they have to go and fetch water as well as take care of sick children.
In 1981, Water Aid was founded, and it now has programs in 27 countries. They work to see that the poorest people in the world are getting access to clean water and sanitation services.
