THE QUENCH PROJECT

The goal of our project is to raise awareness

about the tragic shortage of water in third-world

countries and cut down on pollution in our

environment.

STATISTICS

Approximately 1 in 8 people in the world lack access to

clean water.

• An American taking a five-minute shower

uses more water than a typical person in

a developing country slum uses in a

whole day.

Page 5: Team Quench Wiu

• Waterborne diseases cause more

than 1.4 million children’s deaths per

year.

• More than 2.2 million people die each

year from poor water and sanitary

conditions

BENEFITS OF DONATIONS

For every $1 invested in children-

including money to improve access

to clean water and sanitation- $7

will be saved in the cost of long-

term public services.

CHANGES TO BE MADE

It is estimated that saving half of the water

lost through leaky pipes and poorly

maintained sewage networks could

supply more than 90 million people with

clean water. --(United Nation)
