Facts:
- A human being needs two buckets of water per day to be able to drink, wash their hands and to prepare a simple meal.
- Worldwide 1.1 billion people have no access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion people have no basic sanitation.
- In 2005 around 4,500 children died every day due to malnutrition and diseases such as diarrhea and typhoid fever. These children don’t even reach the age of five.
- The consequences of polluted drinking water and the lack of basic sanitation and hygiene are far reaching. Millions of people hover between life and death because of constant diseases, and have no opportunity whatsoever to educate themselves.
- A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
