Safe water is one of those things I take for granted. I turn on my faucet and clean water just flows out. I use it every day for drinking, cleaning, and cooking. And it doesn’t make me sick! Water is essential to life. Yet hundreds of millions of people can’t get it. According to Water.org, 1 in 9 people on the planet do not have access to a safe water. That’s about 850 million people — an overwhelmingly huge number. One small way we can help this cause is by supporting brands and organizations who are fighting to provide access to safe and clean water to the world’s most vulnerable.
Here are 5 brands fighting for safe water around the world.
