Episode 39: charity: water

On a new Wild For Change podcast, we speak with Hannah Matthews, a Water Programs Manager of charity: water.Water is the foundation for all life, without water, we couldn’t survive.  Lack of fresh water largely influences a person’s physical and mental health, time, education, and livelihood.  And as we are seeing the effects of climate change, chronic water scarcity has become more prevalent around the globe.703 million people lack access to clean and safe drinking water.  This means women and girls in 8 out of 10 households without water on premises around the globe walk an estimated 200 million hours collecting water every day.  However, since 2006, charity: water is on a mission to end the global water crisis and provide access to clean water for communities.  Listen how charity: water has delivered on its promise and has funded over 135,000 water projects around the globe!Website: http://www.wildforchange.comTwitter: @WildForChangeFacebook: /wildforchangeInstagram: wildforchange
