WATER FOR PEOPLE

Section: Community

To this day, there are an estimated 1.1 billion people who still do not have safe drinking water, that's one in six globally. Another 2.6 billion lack any form of sanitation- that's approximately 40 percent of humanity. More than 6,000 people - most of them children - die daily from water-related illnesses. According to the World Health Organization, water-related diarrheal illnesses are the third-leading killers of children worldwide. Epidemics of cholera, dysentery and hepatitis are common in the developing world as well. These are preventable diseases that can be traced directly to inadequate water and/or sanitation.
For over 18 years Water For People (WFP) has been providing the basic necessities of clean drinking water and sanitation by attempting to reduce poverty and prevent water or sanitation-related diseases in Africa, the Americas and India.

This year, the New Orleans offices of MWH Global will take part in a company-wide Water For People donation drive from March 26 to April 10. We humbly invite you to become a part of this notable charity and support our efforts.
