Pack H20
Estimates suggest that by 2025, almost 3 billion people will live in water scarce or water stressed regions of the world. Currently, more than 1 billion people have no access to safe water for personal requirements!
In water stressed regions or after natural disasters, organizations invest in filtration and purification systems. Yet, getting clean water from access point to home is the Achilles’ heel of the global water crisis.
Women in water-stressed regions walk on average 3.5 miles everyday to get water to their homes. Spinal injuries – even leading to death – are common among people carrying up to 40 lbs. on water on their heads every day. Most women use dirty buckets or jerry cans that previously held pesticides, fuel or other chemicals. Dirty buckets = dirty water.
