Do you ever think about things like this when you go to your refrigerator and grab a bottled water or shove a glass into the door and fill up with water to drink? This is from one.org: 

“Unclean water and a lack of basic sanitation are undermining efforts to end extreme poverty and disease in the world’s poorest countries. 884 million people in the world lack access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion, nearly two out of every five people, lack access to basic sanitation. People living in rural areas continue to be disproportionately underserved, as eight out of ten users of unimproved sanitation facilities live in rural areas.

Together, unclean water and poor sanitation are a leading cause of child mortality: an estimated 4,100 children die daily from diarrheal diseases, which are spread through poor sanitation and hygiene.”

Check out this video I came across on youtube from World Vision (it’s only 1:38 so don’t make any excuses):

Why do I even care and why am I saying anything about it? Do you realize that if ALL of the churches in America gave 10% of their annual budget for only ONE YEAR, not another person on the face of this earth would have to worry about clean drinking water again.

Think about that the next time you have a budget meeting…
