“I THIRST”Each day water-related diseases kill 3 900 of the world's children
Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.6 billion people lack basic sanitation(衛(wèi)生設(shè)備) .
The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.
Consider these facts:
●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.
●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.
●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.
Here are three ways you can help:
1) Write Congress
Current U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.
2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organization
Many U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply put, a single project by a U. S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.
3) Support nonprofit water organizations
Numerous U.S. -based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation. Like the sample of nonprofits noted as follows, some organizations are large, others small-scale; some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.

[ ]

2.The intended readers of the passage are ________ .

A.get rid of water-related diseases in developing countries
