Water Crisis

Each year about 2million people die as a result of poor sanitation and polluted water, and 90% of the victims are children.

I get to know from World Vision articles that there are people still need to walk a long distance to get water back to the home. Some people may spend up to six hours every day to fetch the water for their families, lugging it home in containers that weigh more than 20kg. Nowadays, still have 40% of the world’s population carry their water from wells, rivers, ponds, or puddles outside of their homes.

There are over third of the world’s population is seriously affected by water and sanitation crisis. The problem is particularly severe in Africa. Such pollution in Africa is a major cause of diarrhea, and it’s the second biggest killer of children in Africa and/or developing countries. It might leads to other major diseases such as cholera, and trachoma.
