Did you know?
Every 15 seconds a child dies from lack of clean water. Save the Rain teaches water starved communities to use the rain as a sustainable water supply to stop these needless deaths. A mere $15.00 pays for a villager to receive water for the rest of their life & the life of their offspring.
But today...
- 14,000 people (7,000 of whom are children) die every day from water-related illnesses or lack of clean water.
-Rainwater Harvesting is the most effective way to get water to those in need because when 1 inch of rain falls on a 1000 square foot surface, you can collect 600 gallons of water.
- More than one billion people walk at least three hours a day just to collect one 5 gallon bucket of water.
- Half of all deaths of children in the developing world and 80% of all illnesses are the direct result of unclean or lack of water. All could be prevented with a clean water supply.
- More than 1.2 billion people (25% of the world’s population) do not have access to safe drinking water and more than 2.7 billion people live without an appropriate water supply for sanitation, cooking and cleaning.
The answer to this crisis is falling from the sky - all we need to do is catch it! Click here to find out how.
