SocialVibe has reached their goal of providing 8,000 school meals for children in need! Alhamdulillah..
14 of those meals came from my readers, yes, that means you! Thank you for taking a lil' time out to click on my Socialvibe badge and completing the activities =) Thanks to the Socialvibe community as well, for sharing activities and passing the word around to others to help those less fortunate. And of course, thank you to The World Food Programme sponsors!
So now I've changed my Socialvibe cause to support Water Mission. I chose this cause because water is a basic necessity, along with food and shelter.
Here are some stats to convince you to click on my Socialvibe badge! XD
Drinking Water and Sanitation
More than one in six people worldwide - 894 million - don't have access to safe fresh water.
More than two out of six lack adequate sanitation
Globally, diarrhoea is one the leading cause of illness and death and 88 percent of diarrhoea deaths are due to a lack of access to sanitation facilities, together with inadequate availability of water for hygiene and safe drinking water.
Today, 2.5 billion people, including almost one billion children, live without even basic sanitation. Every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. That's 1.5 million preventable deaths each year.
On a typical day in Sub-Saharan Africa, more than half of the hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from faecal-related diseases,
3,900 children die every day from water borne disease.
