1.8 million of these children die from diarrheal illness
due to drinking unclean safe water or ingesting contaminated
food. Diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water kills more
people than HIV/AIDS or malaria. Diarrhea kills one child every
3 minutes. In today’s world, water is more than a source of
life. Deprivation linked to water is a source of poverty, of
inequality, of social injustice, and of great disparities in
life chances. That is deprivation because water is a human
right - none of us should turn a blind eye to the violation
of human rights. STOP WATER BORNE ILLNESS (WDI). Clean Water For
