Over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water, forcing women and girls to walk long distances each day to retrieve water. Unsafe water and poor sanitation cause diseases that kill over 42,000 people weekly, mostly young children, and account for 80% of sickness globally. Charity: Water works to provide clean water access in developing nations, using donations directly for projects and providing transparency through documentation of each initiative.
