January 2011: FACTS

1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water

1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases.

3,900 children die every day due to contaminated water.

Of the 42,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation, 90% are children under 5 years old.

Many people in the developing world, usually women and children, walk more than three hours every day to fetch water that is likely to make them sick.

While the average American uses 132 gallons of water per day, those in developing countries cannot find five.

The water and sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns.

 

People in rural Africa want to learn about God and yet can not afford the basics, a Bible.  We have provided over 2500 Bibles to people in Kenya, Philippines, and Central America in an effort to help people grow in faith.

Imagine going to school but thinking about your need to walk three miles to get water from the stream before it's too dirty.  How can students concentrate on learning when they need water?  Our rain water systems are built at local schools to resolve two issues: health and education!
