Challenge 5- Where is the water?-Cole
In the entire world 11% of humans do not have enough clean drinking water and therefore will have a high chance of early death. We don’t want that, which is why we need to change that. As you probably know in places like Africa and Asia people are lacking their water supply. (If you would like to learn more about this go to the link in this paragraph.) To fix this we need to do simple things like donating water. There is a project called The Water Project which is helping people get good drinking water. This is the kind of thing that we have to do to make the world a better place. Here are some facts that might make you think about this topic more.
-
one in five deaths of children under 5 are due to water borne diseases.
-
1 in 8 people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water.
-
37% of people with no good water sources are from Sub-Saharan Africa
-
Girls under the age of 15 are twice as likely as boys to be the family member responsible for fetching water.
-
Half of the world’s hospital beds are filled with people dying of a water related disease
If we can fix this the world will be a much better place and most of the people in Africa will be so happy that you did this for them. I hope we can fix this horrible problem.
Comment below on what you think we can do to stop this.
