900 million people lack access to safe drinking water

Every day 4,100 children die of water-related diseases.
Nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Almost half of them are children.
Just $1 raised through the UNICEF Tap Project can provide a child with safe water for 40 days.
The simple act of washing a child’s face with clean water can prevent debilitating diseases—like blinding trachoma, an infectious eye disease that spreads from child to child. The world’s leading cause of preventable blindness, blinding trachoma is endemic in 57 countries, with 1.2 billion people living in trachoma-endemic areas, primarily in the poorest communities in the developing world—meaning millions of children without access to clean water are at risk of becoming blind from trachoma.
