BOP Source

The first social network for the base of the pyramid

Sebastian Adu-Gyamfi

One in six of the people in our world don’t have access to the most basic human need.

Did u know
that every 15 seconds a child dies from lack of clean water and the same cause kills an estimated 4, 500 daily and 42, 000 people die weekly from disease related to unsafe drinking of water? Well 80 percent of all sickness on the planet is caused by unsafe water and lack of sanitation. It kills 2.2 million people every year. That’s more than all forms of violence, including war and at any one time half the hospital beds in developing countries are filled with people suffering from diarrhoea caused by unclean water. 385 million people live on less than a dollar a day which equates to 60 pence and have no access to safe water
