In the light to the above article about India’s intensifying water crisis, it is encouraging to see so many new charities spring up rushing to provide water for the world’s thirsty. It is only with this kind of drastic action and mobilization through awareness that lead to large scale participati0n that we will be able to prevent the water crisis from escalating.
The cost of the crisis is counted in the number of children under 5 that die every year from water-borne illness and diarrhea. Giving someone clean water is not about giving someone convenient access to it, but it is about giving the children in poor communities a chance at life.
Giving someone access to water is also one of the easiest things to do: With a gift of as little as $7.77 you can give someone access to safe, clean water. It is such a low cost solution to a high cost problem.
The solution is simple. Can you commit to a gift of $7.77 per month this year to give 12 people access to safe water?
