With clean water, people attain better health and education. By granting individuals at higher risk the opportunity to chase their better selves, clean water improves and saves lives. Up to this date, diarrhea remains the most known disease caused by tainted water and food sources. According to WHO, about 297,000 children under the age of 5 die every year as a result of drinking unclean water - about 829,000 at any age. About 673 million people worldwide still practice open defecation, causing the risk of contracting the disease to get even higher. As for a totally preventable disease, diarrhea still poses one of the greatest health threats to communities living in developing areas.
