Understanding
the Global Water Crisis
Almost 1 out of 10 people on Earth do not have access to clean drinking water.
Every 2 minutes a child dies from water-related disease.
At MUSEA, we have been donating monthly to help fight the global water crisis since 2012.
As of 2020, we’ve helped over 700 people gain access to clean drinking water.
Every print order through MUSEA helps saves lives!
More people have a mobile phone than a toilet.
2 billion people – 1 in 3 – lack access to a toilet.
Globally, 55% of people do not have access to safely-managed sanitation.
673 million people – more than 10% of the global population – defecate in the open.
For every year a girl stays in school, her income can increase by 15-25%.
Women and girls often spend up to 6 hours every day collecting water.
Having a sanitation solution at home means children are more likely to have higher cognitive test scores.
Women and children bear the primary responsibility for water collection.
This is time not spent working, caring for family members, or attending school.
Access to improved sanitation leads to a reduction in assault and violence on women and girls.
Nearly 1 million people die each year from water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases.
160 million children suffer from stunting and chronic malnutrition linked to water and sanitation.
Diarrhea is one of the top 3 leading causes of child death, a majority of which are water and sanitation related.
Every $1 invested in water and sanitation provides a $4 economic return from lower health costs,
more productivity and fewer premature deaths.
It will take three times more than what is currently being invested to fill the financial gap and achieve universal access to safely managed water and sanitation.
We currently give monthly to Water.org and Charity:Water
Take time to learn about both organizations and consider joining us in donating to their work.
