Thirst Relief

Thanks to photographer, Mike Colon and others, so many of us are now involved, and doing their part to save the lives of millions of children around the globe. Thirst Relief International is saving lives. Here are some astounding facts from their website:

The Water Need
Consider the staggering statistics published by the World Heath Organization: 1.1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water, representing 17% of the global population.

1.8 million people die each year of diarrhoeal diseases alone; 90% of those deaths are children under the age of 5, and 88% of diarrhoeal disease is attributed to unsafe water supply, inadequate sanitation, and hygiene.

With your help, we can change these statistics and save the lives of millions worldwide.

"The human right to water entitles everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses"
