Water.org

Sometimes I feel like I take water for granted. I definitely don't drink it as much as I should. Water is so readily accessible in the United States yet in other countries around the world, they lack clean water or sometimes water all together. Many don't have enough water to bathe and don't have toilets. Water.org is an organization that helps communities gain access to clean water.

"For more than two decades, Water.org has pioneered innovative, community-driven, market-based solutions that help people gain access to safe water and sanitation." - water.org
 


     

Water Facts

Here's a couple of fact about water from water.org (Link Above)

"More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes. Nearly all deaths, 99 percent, occur in the developing world."

"An American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the average person in a developing country slum uses for an entire day."



For the month of January I'm donating $25.00 to the global water crisis through Water.org.
