ISSUE: Water

Will the wars of the 21st century be fought over water? The health of the human race and the global eco-system largely depends on access to clean water and sanitation. Yet, according to the United Nations Development Programme, over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to clean water, and 2.4 billion lack access to basic sanitation. This disproportion of critical resources heavily impacts poverty and economic and social development, jeopardizing political stability in water-deficient countries.

 

Though vast in scale, water inequality is being tackled by organizations all over the world, and they need your help. Browse this page to learn what you can do!
