Clean Water Program - a wonderful Initiative

Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program started as a non-profit initiative in 2004 a wonderful initiative by P&G.

Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.

By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.

In the least developed countries, 22% of health care facilities have no water service, 21% no sanitation service, and 22% no waste management service.

785 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water.

Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.
