Building Sustainable Water Projects

Waterborne diseases are responsible for more easily preventable young deaths a year than HIV and Malaria combined. Small children typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis. *Data sourced from the UN
If we achieve universal access to clean water and sanitation & hygiene, we could reduce the global disease burden by 10%. Clean water also plays an incredibly critical role in effectively treating and managing HIV/AIDS in rural communities. The Kingdom of eSwatini, for example, has the single-highest-density population of HIV/AIDS in the world. For a person with HIV/AIDS, even if you have access to medical treatment or antiretroviral medication, but are still forced to drink dirty water from contaminated sources, the diseases in the water you drink will actually kill you faster than AIDS itself. *Data sourced from UN
