This is Drinking Water

The World Water Crisis Almost 1 billion people without access to clean water Many rivers too polluted to support life 1.8 million people lose their lives from diarrhea caused by unsafe drinking water 50% of hospital beds occupied because of water-related diseases American Chemical Society 3

Water is a Woman’s Issue Women spend 40 billion hours hauling water Average woman walks 6km or 3.75 miles a day to collect water Women are responsible for children who are sick and dying More than 50% of deaths of women with HIV/AIDS in Africa is from diarrhea Leading women are starting to mobilize around water as a woman’s cause American Chemical Society 4

Why Household Drinking Water? 4,000 children die every day from water-borne disease – more than HIV/AIDS, malaria & measles combined CDC and P&G collaboration helped demonstrate that household water treatment can improve health P&G powdered water purification technology developed to address this issue American Chemical Society 5
