<strong><strong>Pledge to learn and share the importance of clean water and sanitation for developing nations.</strong> <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />* 884 million people worldwide, (roughly 1 in 8) lack access to safe water, that's two and a half times the population of the U.S.<br />* 4,000 young children are killed every day due to diarrheal diseases throughout the world, amounting to 1.5 million children each year.<br />* 90 percent of wastewater in developing countries is discharged into rivers and streams without any treatment. <br />* The average distance that women in developing countries walk to collect water per day is 4 miles and the average weight that women carry on their heads is approximately 44 pounds.<br /><br /><strong>Share this information with your friends and family so that they can learn the significance of clean water and sanitation.</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/666749345?z00m=19748191">http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/666749345?z00m=19748191</a></strong>
