The World Water Crisis: Fast Facts
More than one billion people worldwide do not have access to clean water.
That is 1 in 6 of us. Water-related diseases are the leading cause of death
in the world. Every 15 seconds a child dies from a preventable,
water-related disease. 40 billion hours are lost annually to hauling water,
a chore primarily undertaken by women and girls.
