United Nations Millennium Goal

Every year there are 1.7 million deaths, mainly children under the age of five, due to diarrhea caused by unsafe water. The U.N.’s Millennium Development Goal is to halve the number of people unable to reach or afford safe drinking water by the year 2015. Achieving this would require that at least 125,000 people be connected to safe water supplies each day before the 2015 target. Diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation cause an estimated 80% of all sickness in the developing world.

CASABLANCO is working to help alleviate the suffering of children and we hope that you will join us too! READ MORE
