Raise awareness of water cleanliness, sanitation, 
           (and how lacking those are)!
Lack of access to clean water is the problem and affects health, 
            education, and income.

Did you know that 40% of the world's population
                don't have adequate sanitation?
About 1 in 8 people globally don't have access to clean water.
You can do something about it!  Take action!!
