"About every 19 seconds a mother losses one of her children to a water related illness"

Charitywater.org is a great non-profit organization with a mission to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. The level of poverty and suffering that some of these regions of the world face is overwhelming, and the scale is frankly hard for us to fathom and really feel at a hearts level.

Here in the developed western world, we often take for granted some of the many blessings that are bestowed upon us. We should strive as a species to make it a basic human right to have access to clean and potable water. If this video strikes a cord in you, we urge you to donate to organizations like charitywater.org to assist them in their mission.
