Be The Change - Part Two

Part 2

Organization Name: The Ripple Effect

Mission Statement:

We will help put a stop to people dying from waterborne illnesses and suffering from unsanitary water.  We will provide access to sanitary water to people in developing countries that do not already have a source of fresh, safe, and clean water by raising funds and awareness and utilizing technology to build the wells and sanitation devices. We will make our impact sustainable by teaching people how to care for their water supply. Clean drinking water is a basic human necessity that everyone should have. When people have clean drinking water, they will have better health and will be able to concentrate on going to school, overall causing a dramatic positive change in their lives. We will be the reason people stop dying from waterborne illness.

Made to Stick Concept: Drowning in our own thirst

Less than 1% of the world’s water supply is suitable for human use. Around the world, more than 700 million people suffer from not having access to clean water. Humans are figuratively drowning from this problem because not having clean water can lead to a multitude of other issues aside from dehydration and heat stroke; these include water-borne illnesses, poor sanitation, poor education,  unsuitable agricultural conditions, and general poverty. If water is the key to survival, why is it killing us?
