663 million people around the world lack access to clean water.

As a result, 16,000 people die each week from water-related illness and disease… that’s more people than all forms of violence combined, including war! 43% are children under the age of 5.

The good news is, there are solutions!

250 million children lack basic reading, writing & math skills. 

Education is the most powerful tool we can use to change the world. Education reduces poverty, empowers women and helps prevent disease, and increases economic stability for families.

We work closely with teachers, school directors, and the local community leaders to ensure projects are giving kids the best possible opportunity at a better education.

The reality for millions of people around the world is that even the most basic public health services remain unreliable. In 2018, 6.2 million children and young adolescents died, mostly from preventable causes related to lack of access to proper health care.

Despite the scale of the challenge, solutions are in sight. Achieving sustainable development goals requires a global shift from treating diseases to strengthening health systems so that all children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age have access to affordable, quality health care.

At Vivid Roots, we work alongside underserved communities to help increase access to health services!
