Waterborne disease is the planet’s leading killer. It’s no surprise when you consider that three out of ten people, worldwide, lack access to a safe, reliable source of water in their home. But, there is a lot that we can do to help.
In partnership with the GivePower Foundation*, we have the opportunity to make a difference in tens of thousands of lives. GivePower has developed an innovative solar-powered desalination system that is sustainable and highly cost-effective. In fact, a single penny can give one person access to safe drinking water for an entire day.
Relevant Facts:
- Some 3 in 10 people worldwide, or 2.1 billion, lack access to safe, readily available water at home.1
- 844 million people do not have even a basic drinking water service.2
- 263 million people have to spend over 30 minutes per trip collecting water from sources outside the home.3
- 159 million still drink untreated water from surface water sources, such as streams or lakes.4
- An estimated 443 million school days are lost each year from water-related illness.5
- Water and sanitation interventions are cost effective across all world regions. These interventions were demonstrated to produce economic benefits ranging from $5-46 USD for every $1 USD invested.6
