The following is post taken from my blog at www.charlestlee.com :
In recent months, there appears to have been an upsurge of interest by people concerning "clean water" projects around the world. I am definitely excited to hear that more people are intentionally combating this global issue. Consider the following stats:
- Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a preventable, water-related disease.
- Most of these children are younger than 5, and a majority of them—80 percent—are younger than 2.
- Contaminated water and poor sanitation are factors in 88 percent of all disease in the developing world—diarrhea alone kills 2.1 million children annually.
