Many people in the developing world, usually women and children, walk more than three hours every day to find water that is likely to make them sick. Those hours are crucial, preventing many from working or attending school. Additionally, collecting water puts them at greater risk of sexual harassment and assault. Children are especially vulnerable to the consequences of unsafe water. Of the 42,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation, 90% are children under 5 years old.  |
Sudan is the largest nation in Africa, covering nearly 1 million square miles. This is comparable to the entire western United States.  |
