In honor of Earth Month, April’s spotlight is on CLEAN International.
CLEAN International mobilizes and evaluates innovative, environmentally sustainable solutions for clean water and sanitation through ongoing education, partnerships, and evaluation to save and improve lives.
By 2050, it is estimated that over half of the world’s population will live in a water-stressed region. Today, around the world, 1 in 9 people currently lack access to clean water and 1 in 3 do not have a toilet. Over 2,000 people die every day due to sicknesses from unclean water and lack of sanitation. CLEAN International works to not only protect water, but to provide sustainable, convenient and affordable access to water, sanitation and hygiene.
