Facts and the Solution to the Water Crisis

Providing clean water provides a cycle of wellness to people in need. Not only does clean water resolve the majority of illnesses; providers no longer have to walk for miles/hours a day to get their source of water using the time instead for education and work.

In fact, according to the World Health Organization, for every $1 that is invested in clean water can yield $4-$12 in economic returns. (2)

Ultimately the solution to resolving the water crisis is to build obtainable and sustainable clean water sources, whether in an urban or rural setting. This can come in many different forms such as wells, rainfall collection, piping, financing, filtering solutions, gravity solutions and/or from natural springs.

The water charities that we work with use a range of the above to help bring clean water and proper sanitation solutions to its recipients. We recommend that you visit our partners pages to learn how each is providing clean water and sanitation.
