The Water Crisis

The water crisis is something that is affecting people all over the world.  Water scarcity means that there is lack of potable water and very often lack of a functioning toilet.  This, as you can probably guess can cause some pretty huge health problems.  Not only that, but many children in this situation have to give up school time to fetch water for their family.  Many young girls have big dreams of becoming teachers or doctors but very few get to pursue these dreams because they are no able to go to school.  This issue is a very important issue because it could mean life or death for over six-hundred-thousand children under five each year each year.
