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.
The answer to this crisis is falling from the sky
- all we need to do is catch it.
Problem: Water is connected to health. Everyday, 200 million hours are spent by women and children walking for water that is not even clean. 80% of children dying in the developing world are dying from diarrhea caused by water related illness.
Solution:After evaluating the health of the village children and then constructing a large scale rain catchment system on the school, within 6 months, we found a 45% decrease of kids suffering from water borne illnesses.
Problem:Water is related to education. Children are forced to spend hours walking for water during school hours. This time should be spent learning.
Solution:Prior to the systems being built, only 10% of the students passed the national exam to continue their education to secondary school. Within the first year of stored rainwater being available, 99.9% of the students passed that national exam to continue their education to secondary school. Incredibly, more than 50% of them are girls. Every year, at every school, we are seeing the same results.
Our solutions are so simple and beg you to question why this crisis even exists. Please join us to put an end to the global water crisis now. You can make a difference.
