Without clean water life is an endless struggle. With it almost anything is possible.
Roughly an eighth of the world’s population – close on one billion people – do not have access to clean, safe water.
Around 2.5 billion people – almost two-fifths of the world’s population – do not have access to adequate sanitation.
As a result over 2.7 million people die every year from diseases caused by polluted water including one child every 20 seconds.
£1.00 provides a child clean, safe water for 10 years when they are at their most vulnerable.
£2.00 a month over a year provides a family of four with clean, safe water for life.
This year’s Water Appeal is raising funds for Just a Drop.
