A child dies every 15 seconds from poor sanitation and water supply.

Preventable water related diseases kill more than 5 Million People every year.

80% of sickness and death among children is caused by unsafe water. This enormous problem is growing and statistics do not begin to tell the whole story. Every person who dies is someone’s son, daughter, brother, sister, mother or father.
