Six Cents InitiativeSlide7
What is it?In order to stay healthy, it is important to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of clean water every day. More than 2.6 billion people lack even the most basic sanitation facilities and safe drinking water sources.
O
ne
in five children in developing countries is susceptible to diseases caused by bacteria that grow in unsafe
waters
5,000 die every day. The most common diseases lead to diarrhea and dehydration, which can lead to death if untreated.At a cost of only 6 cents:a mixture of sugar and salt called oral rehydration salts (ORS) offers the most effective and cheapest way to save lives during dehydration.
CKI is working with
UNICEF to
provide these rehydration salts to those in need.Slide8
What is it? (cont.)Designed to help children get the rehydrating salts they need to survive dehydration spells. With
the money raised, UNICEF also is working to provide long-term solutions for the
problem
which
includes providing clean water resources through the installation of filtration and sanitation systems
. Water filters installed in schools and communal areas can benefit entire communities. Ultimately, the goal is to educate individuals on safe water and hygiene practices, and to provide supplies to produce safe water supplies for communities.Slide9
What can you do to help?
Have a table set up at school with information about Six Cents Initiative with a water bottle that is filled with dirt and water and when talking about it tell them how awful it would be to have to drink this, and then have another water bottle that is
empty
for people to make donations.
Circle
K clubs and members wishing to make donations to the “Six Cents Initiative” should direct checks to the Kiwanis International Foundation (3636 Woodview Trace, Indianapolis, IN 46268) with a notation that it is for UNICEF/water and sanitation programming. Slide10
