We've recently come in contact with Heidi Albertsen of Life Project for Africa http://www.lifeprojectafrica.org/. They focus on the following areas:
·In 2002, 1.1 billion people lacked access to improved water sources, which represented 17% of the global population
·In sub-Saharan Africa sanitation coverage is a mere 36%.
·In sub-Saharan Africa, 42% of the population is still without improved water
·Many poor people, children and women in particular, die without ever accessing a health facility
·Eight out of ten children, who get infections, die at home and six of them without any contact with formal health services
·Almost 90% of all child deaths are due to preventable causes - malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea, malnutrition and complications of low birth weight
·Approximately 28.6% of Tanzanians cannot read and write in any language
