Clean water is essential
In developing countries, women and children in particular spend a lot of time collecting water, which is often not drinkable and unclean. An estimated 485,000 people die every year because of contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation. That is more than 1,300 people per day. Another problem caused by the daily need to get clean water: children cannot go to school and remain uneducated.
The goal of our partnership with the Made Blue Foundation therefore is providing clean drinking water and hygiene for all. Pure water is vital. What is particularly critical about the lack of water supply is that the coronavirus, for example, can keep spreading in slums. People need clean water to maintain good hygiene.
