Water is one of the basic necessities of human life, unfortunately there are millions of people trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease due to not having access to clean drinking water.

844 million people lack basic drinking water access, more than 1 of every 10 people on the planet.

Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours hauling water every day.

The average woman in rural Africa walks 6 kilometres every day to haul 40 pounds of water.

Every day, more than 800 children under age 5 die from diarrhoea attributed to poor water and sanitation.

By 2050, at least 1 in 4 people will likely live in a country affected by chronic or recurring fresh-water shortages.

2.3 billion people live without access to basic sanitation.

892 million people practice open defecation.

90% of all-natural disasters are water related.
