Drought need not be ordsprog

Drought need not be a death sentence for children living in affected communities. We can save thousands of lives if we can get the emergency health, nutrition, water and sanitation interventions to them before it is too late.

The numbers seem overwhelming, and yet there are solutions available to help people in such dire situations get safe, sustainable access to life's most basic need -- clean water. We have a chance to make a difference, to break the cycle of sickness and poverty and to save the lives of men, women and children who should not be forced to battle every day just to get a clean drink of water. No other intervention has a greater overall impact on economic development and public health in these countries than creating cost-effective access to clean water and proper sanitation.
