Hydrate Hope is committed to creating sustainable low-cost clean water solutions in the developing world. We do this by working directly through local partnerships who understand the exact needs and the best solutions in the area. Solutions include Shallow Well Drilling (Bore-Hole), Well Repair/Rehab, Bio-Sand Filters, and the construction of Sanitation facilities. With every partnership that we work through, a sanitation and hygiene training course happens in conjunction with the implementation of every project. Additionally our direct local partnerships enable us to leverage the greatest return on investment and increase financial productivity in these developing world communities.
Still today, around 1 Billion people in our world have no access to clean water. That’s almost 1 out of every 6 people on our planet. More than 2 million people, mostly children, die each year from preventable waterborne illnesses. 2.6 Billion people are without basic sanitation. Many women and children walk more than 2 hours each way to often fetch more than 40lbs of dirty water for their families. This creates a time and energy drain that could be used for education or small business development. The heartbreaker…4 children die every minute…that means that every 15 seconds another child dies….This has to change!
With almost 1.2 Billion people in our world lacking access to a clean water supply and over 2.6 Billion having no means of healthy sanitation, water problems, directly or indirectly, plague a large percentage of our world. In addition to thirst alone, a lack of clean water affects three primary areas of life: health, poverty, education. Water Changes Everything!
