I have no words to describe the way I feel after reading the following about water from charity:water.org

Almost 1 billion people in the world suffer from the lack of clean drinking water

That's one in eight people on this planet

According to the organization's website,

"unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. 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. Those hours are crucial, preventing many from working or attending school. Additionally, collecting water puts them at greater risk of sexual harassment and assault. Children are especially vulnerable to the consequences of unsafe 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" (emphasis added). Click here for link.

I am grateful for pure water.
