The Water Crisis in Kenya
- Over one billion people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water (one in every six people).
- In rural Africa, children walk all day to return with only unsanitary water, preventing them from going to school.
- Every 15 seconds, a child in Africa dies from water-born disease.
- For children under 5 years old, illness from unsanitary water is the leading cause of death.
- 88% of all disease in Africa results from unsafe drinking water.
- Girls as young as 8 years old are sold into marriage in exchange for food and water so their families can survive.
- The Kenyan government has declared a state of emergency but has yet to implement any relief.
We have decided that all of this is not OK. If you agree, please join our cause today.
