Providing safe drinking water for everyone One billion people lack access to safe water. That's one in six people. Water-related disease (such as dysentery) are the leading cause of death in the world, with 80% of all diseases world wide being spread by unsafe water. If nothing is done, by the year 2020, 135 million people will die in that period from water-bourne diseases. WaterPartners International is a charity that helps local communities build safe water facilities and set up structure to ensure that the equipment is maintained after the initial set up. Many water projects by other groups fail because after the initial money runs out, there's nothing left to maintain equipment. Water Partners makes sure that local people can properly care for their new systems so they'll last for decades.
