It's the little things, that make a difference.

It's the little things, that show Love.

A simple cup of Water, that can change the world.

That can save our Sons & Daughters!

(lyrics by JJ & Dave Heller)

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."

Matt 10:42

The World's Water Crisis Statistics

1.1 billion people, lack access to safe water supplies, approximately one in eight people.

A child dies every 15 seconds from preventable water borne diseases

3.575 million people die each year from water-related disease

43% of water-related deaths are due to diarrhea.

84% of water-related deaths are in children ages 0 - 14.

98% of water-related deaths occur in the developing world.

The water and sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns.

At any given time, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water-related disease.

Less than 1% of the world’s fresh water (or about 0.007% of all water on earth) is readily accessible for direct human use.

Taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a developing country slum uses in a whole day.

About a third of people without access to an improved water source live on less than $1 a day.

More than two thirds of people without an improved water source live on less than $2 a day.

Without food a person can live for weeks, but without water you can expect to live only a few days.

The daily requirement for sanitation, bathing, and cooking needs, as well as for assuring survival, is about 13.2 gallons per person.
