Effects on Women & Children
A typical woman or child will walk an average 6 kilometers each day to fetch contaminated water which she knows will eventually kill 25% of her family. No parent should ever have to endure such an ill-fated scenario. During a random 20-year period of time, due to the enslaving task of fetching water, a woman is likely to:
endure multiple bouts of malariadrop out of schoolbecome a child mother herselfbe beaten, injured, and/or rapedsuffer animal bites and countless infections
Despite her best efforts to save the lives of her family, a mother might lose several of her children and siblings to the effects of contaminated water that she brings home. For children, the chances of survival dwindle in the absence of clean water and essential sanitation. In fact, almost 6,000 children die of water related diseases each day. Young children are the first to get sick and die from waterborne and sanitation related illnesses, including diarrhea and malaria.
