For 1.1 billion people a glass of clean water represents unaffordable luxury. The plain facts are that over 2.2 million children die every year of diseases they pick up from dirty water. This is 6,000 children a day - dying of something as preventable and treatable as diarrhoea. Can you tolerate this? It doesn't have to be that way. Watch our video highlighting the problem or log on to www.worldvision.org.uk/water to find out more. How can you help? The more people there are who choose not to put up with a world where a third of all people lack basic sanitation, the sooner change happens. You can make a difference - to one life, one child, one family. Together, we can make great things happen.
