Check out this great blog post by Chris Elias, President and CEO of PATH, an international nonprofit organization committed to global health solutions:

In the US, we tend to take clean water and toilets for granted, and when an American child does get diarrhea, it’s a minor inconvenience. For children in the poorest countries, though, diarrhea can be a death sentence, which makes prevention through safe water and sanitation that much more critical. This year for World Water Day, tap into your connections and communities to spread the word: safe water saves lives.

PATH does great work for global health and WASH and we’re excited to be working with them and all of the other organizations that are working to raise awareness of global WASH issues through the celebration of World Water Day.  To learn more about the coalition, what we’re doing, and how you can lend your voice to the cause, visit waterday.org.
