In the western world, manybrpeople have never really been thirsty. We've never had to leave our houses andbrwalk five miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap and clean water flowsbrfreely. Yet there are 663 million people on the planet who don'tbrhave clean water. That's twice the number of people who live inbrthe United States. One in 10 people in our world don't have access to the mostbrbasic of human needs.
