The Global Water Crisis

Lack of access to clean water is the number one cause of death and disease in the world. It’s also the simplest to address – give people access to clean water.

The global water crisis is not just a crisis about water – it’s also an economic crisis, a health crisis, and an education crisis that robs people of their futures.

Quick Facts

  • 1 in 10 people do not have access to safe drinking water
  • 200 million people spend more than 30 minutes every day collecting water

  • 900 million people lack basic sanitation and still defecate in the open
