Reports from Around the World
In countries around the world grassroots groups are working to improve access to clean and affordable water. In the developing world, more than 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and 2.5 billion lack access to sanitation services. The result is that over 5 million people, mostly children, die annually due to preventable water-borne diseases. IMF and World Bank policies pushing privatization of water are exactly the wrong solution.
Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies,
we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we
depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on
behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight,
