WHY WATER
Water is a fundamental human need and a driver for sustainable growth, yet water scarcity affects more than 40% of the global population and is projected to rise. While 2.6 billion people have gained access to improved drinking water sources since 1990, yet 844 million people are still struggling with water sources.
Despite there being sufficient fresh water on our planet, millions of people living in tough and dry-land conditions live without it.; The majority of those people live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect and transport water for their families, that water is often unclean and contaminated, leaving people sick with waterborne diseases such as: Diarrhea, Cholera, and Typhoid.

Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our rivers, lakes, and oceans, contaminating water sources. According to the UN, around 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean annually, equivalent to dumping a garbage truck of plastic every minute. This Earth Day, let's pledge to avoid single-use plastics, practice proper waste management, and raise awareness about the importance of protecting our planet's precious water resources.
