663 million people in the world live without clean water.
That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Or, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick. Access to clean water means education, income and health - especially for women and kids.
charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. The Spring is a monthly giving program made up of passionate supporters who are committed to seeing a day when everyone on the planet has clean water. We are so proud to be a supporter of The Spring.
