703 million people lack basic access to safe water
lean drinking water and basic sanitation are critical to life. Without them, families walk miles for water that makes them sick, spend their income on medication, and struggle to send their children to school.
The global water crisis impacts 703 million people—about 1 in 12 people—on the planet today. Plus, 1 in 5 lack access to a toilet, a critical element to overall health.
The good news: This is entirely preventable. We can end the crisis in our lifetime.
