According to statistics from the WHO and the United Nations, safe drinking water isn’t available to at least 750 million people across the globe, including 340 million in Africa. Here, 66% of this continent suffers under a chronically dry weather, nearly 30% of its locals have no access to clean water, and as a result, deadly waterborne diseases, such as typhoid and cholera, are a commonplace among children. A United Nations Children’s Fund’s report shows that approximately 1.8 million children die each year from diarrhoea – What a heartbreaking rate of deaths!.
