Water is something most of us take for granted on a daily basis. We wash our hands, flush the toilet, take a shower, do a load of laundry, and drink clean water from the faucet without much thought. However, crises over clean water and sanitation are one of the biggest up and coming problems this world is facing. Around 1.1 billion people lack access to clean and safe drinking water; that is twenty percent of the world's population. This lack of clean water leads to major sanitation problems, and it is estimated that forty percent of the world's population does not have access to adequate sanitation. Most experts agree that the lack of clean water and proper sanitation is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) challenge facing developing countries today. Around 4,500 children die each day due to these problems.
So what can you do? The answer is quite simple. Try purchasing Tumai bottled water instead of your normal bottled water and help provide clean water, sanitation, education, and health care to those most in need around the globe. Proceeds from every Tumai water bottle will go to fund different non-profits that work on these issues. Bob Downey, President of Spero Group, the company that started Tumai Water, says "Tumai Natural Spring Water was created to allow anyone that drinks bottled water, to help make a difference. Drink water and help stem these global crises. It's as simple as that."
