The Cost and Challenge of Clean Water

While researching, I stumbled upon a Boston Mass. based organization called Corporate Accountability International. This organization sheds light on major international issues facing our world today. Such as, environmental, health and drug concerns. This organization creates movements, they advocate for change and take action while trying to make a difference one step at a time.

While on their website I read about their movement to "Challenge the World Bank"I was immediately interested in how they would challenge the worlds largest corporation.

They started by stating the facts:

"The lack of access to clean drinking water has staggering consequences. Today, more people die from unsafe water than from all forms of violence combined" 

"We know investment in public water system infrastructure is one of the most powerful means of improving and protecting peoples lives globally."

"Our key strategy? To move the World Bank to end its pivotal role in promoting and funding water privatization and redirect its support toward equitable participatory and nonprofit water projects."


Since this organization is calling for the world bank to cut ties with the privatization of water around the world they are calling for water to be seen as a right and not a privilege.
