                     World Water Crisis                     

1 Billion people on the planet don't have access to clean safe drinking water.  That's 1 in 8 of us.
Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
Children are especially vulnerable, as their bodies aren't strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery, and other illnesses.
90% of the 42,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and unhygienic living conditions are to children under five years old.   Imagine, one child dies every 15 seconds.  And many of these diseases are preventable simply by improving water supply and sanitation. 

If we want a drink of water we just walk to our faucet or refrigerator and pour ourselves a glass.  We have an over abundance of natural water resources in this country. 
So it's hard to believe that water crisis exists in developing countries.

In an effort to help save the lives of innocent children in these developing countries, artist Joe Lee has painted this beautiful rendition of Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park.
The water obviously represents our abundant resources and the bears represent Bear Creek Water, a non profit organization that Joe has partnered with to both raise awareness of this devastation as well as money to fund fresh water wells in developing countries.

100% of the profit (less productions costs) will go directly to funding fresh water wells.  One water well at a cost of around $5,000 can support 250 people with fresh water for 20 years.
