The
Silent Crisis

A silent emergency - people are
dying in millions

Water-borne disease:
a quiet assassin








5 billion cases of diarrhoea are diagnosed in children each year in developing countries. It kills 1.8 million of them.

Globally, diarrhoea caused by bacteria and viruses in polluted water kills more people than HIV/AIDS or malaria.

In the absence of functioning drainage systems, water forms stagnant puddles that are soon infested with malaria-carrying mosquitoes. 3600 people die of malaria each day ­ 3200 of them are children.







Raw sewage mixed with drinking
water is a recipe for cholera.
