For those who may be asking, Why do you keep talking about water? This bottle is the answer. It came from a website that is also promoting clean drinking water in Africa. Perhaps the following statistics will also speak to you.- More than half of Africa's people lack access to clean drinking water.
- Of all of the renewable water available in Africa each year, only 4% is used --because most Africans lack the wells, canals, pumps, reservoirs and other irrigation systems.
- In the past ten years, diarrhea has killed more children worldwide than all the people lost to armed conflict since World War II.
- Twelve million people die each year from lack of clean drinking water.
- Over 80% of the disease in developing countires is related to poor drinking water and sanitation.
- One billion people in the world lack access to clean drinking water.
- One child dies every 15 seconds from lack of clean water.
