Hundreds of thousands of people under the age of FIVE die from lack of access to clean water every year. Half the planet lives on less than $5 a day. This is a dystopia. Hate to break the fourth wall, but, it's true. We could be living in a paradise, but we choose to argue and nitpick.

Yes. What the Brightwater Foundation is trying to do is an important part of the solution to that problem. They deserve worldwide support for their efforts.
