Water

• Over 1 billion people lack access to clean, safe water
• Water born illnesses are the 2nd leading cause of death.
• Every 15 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.
• Half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by people suffering from water-related diseases.
• In developing nations, women and children can walk up to 3 hours each day (keeping them from school or a job) to collect water that is very likely to make them sick
• More than 80 percent of the world’s diseases can be attributed to unsafe water sources, sanitation and hygiene.

In response, Vox is addressing Africa’s water crisis through sustainable Well Drilling, Well Repair and Water Purification. Where water is contaminated, we introduce water filtration. Where water is scarce, we endeavor to drill fresh-water wells or implement rain catchers. Where wells are non-functioning, we work to repair and reinstall.

* All water projects are executed in conjunction with exemplary organizations & accompanied by certified health & sanitation education.

*Vox Water Projects are located in South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana and Tanzania.
