"Almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war...Clean water can greatly alleviate the world’s disease burden, but only with education and hygienic practice." (CharityWater.org)
Water is an essential human need and yet so many people lack the water that helps them and instead have water that harms them. There are so many ways that you can help bring clean water to others, so many organizations (another one: BloodWaterMission.com) that are on board, but the easiest way that we can start helping is to appreciate the clean water that we readily have access to.
"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving."- W.T. Purkiser
