Water insecurity and the Global water crisis

What is the situation currently?

According to the World Health Organization, 844 million—or 1 in 9—people on our planet do not have access to clean water. 

If there is no action, what will the situation most likely be like in the future?

The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020 asserts that by 2050, half of the world’s population—or 1 in 4 people—may no longer have access to clean water due to rapid population growth.

What are some ramifications of water insecurity?

  • Families become prone to waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid fever.
  • Children often have to skip school to fetch water for their families; this dramatically limits their academic potential. 
    • In addition, each child usually carries a 44-pound jerry can, which induces lumbar and cervical strain.
  • Water insecurity brings about a hindrance to sustainable agricultural production and hence leads to less sufficient, safe, and nutritious food.   

How can we help end the global water crisis?

  • Donate to organizations that are working around the clock to eliminate the global water crisis, save lives, and make areas affected better.
    • $25 gives a person access to clean water.
    • $50 gives a couple access to clean water.
    • $100 gives a family of four access to clean water.
    • $10,000 gives a village of 400 access to clean water.
  • Plan and execute your own fundraiser event in your school or community.
  • Educate people about the global water crisis and the dangers it poses to society.
