📊 The Global Water Crisis
- 884 million people lack access to safe drinking water
- 2.6 billion live without adequate sanitation
- Nearly 6,000 people die daily from water-related illnesses—most of them children
We believe the solution lies in district-wide planning, community engagement, and sustainable development.
