Superstar singer and philanthropist Bono has announced that he has launched a campaign on the celebrity charity-fundraising digital platform Prizeo.com to raise awareness and funds for ONE DROP.
 
The non-profit organisation ONE DROP strives to ensure that safe water and proper sanitation is accessible to all. Although it is essential to life, nearly 750 million people lack access to water while 2.5 billion are deprived of access to adequate sanitation.
 
This leads to insufficient food supply, limited access to education, unsafe sanitation habits and consumption of contaminated water resulting in disabling illnesses, which often lead  to death. By 2025, 5.3 billion people—two-thirds of the world’s population—could lack access to enough water to meet their basic daily requirements. 
 
Using a sustainable intervention model, ONE DROP develops innovative access to water and sanitation projects which promote self-reliance in disadvantaged, rural and semi-rural regions of Central America, India, West Africa. ONE DROP supports communities, with adapted infrastructures, training and knowledge to empower them through their involvement and participation.
