There remain over one billion people without access to an adequate water supply and 2.4 billion who lack basic sanitation, leaving millions to die every year from otherwise preventable water-related diseases. Lack of access is disproportionately borne by rural populations, women, and children. Eighty-four percent of the global population without access to an improved source of drinking water lives in rural areas. The impact on female students is likewise severe, as more than half of all girls who drop out of primary school do so because they lack separate toilets and access to clean water. Among children, the leading cause of death in the world is diarrhea, a water-borne disease that is entirely preventable with access to clean water and basic sanitation. The projects hosted on the Global Water Network are working to provide water and sanitation to all peoples, one latrine and tap stand at a time.
