Imagine brushing your teeth with this. Not only is it nasty, it's also very dangerous. More than 800,000 children under the age of five die every year because of waterborne diseases, all because they don't have access to safe, drinkable water and proper sanitation. That means things like cooking, drinking, and brushing your teeth all become very dangerous. But what do you do? You must have water to survive, but if you drink it, you could die. In 2016, LDS Charities, the humanitarian arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, helped 380,000 people around the world gain access to safe water. That's enough people to fill the Colosseum four times. We believe everyone deserves to have safe water, and that's why, in 2016, we helped 19 different countries, such as Armenia, Honduras, and the Philippines, find local solutions to their water crisis. Through our partnerships with local communities, in 2016, 46,670 people in Nigeria now have access to permanent and reliable water and resources to maintain it for generations to come. Thanks to your support, millions of people can brush their teeth with this. Help us continue to change the world one drop at a time. Visit ldscharities.org.
