Water is an essential tool in our everyday lives. We use it for drinking, bathing, and for sanitation. According to WaterAid, 11% of the world’s population lacks access to clean water. 700,000 children die each year due to water related diseases from a lack of proper sanitation. Not having access to clean drinking water impacts a person’s health, which then in turn adds to incurring health care costs and loss of time interrupting jobs and education.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Human trafficking is when children, woman, and men are forced to perform duties such as prostitution, sex tourism, domestic servitude, factory work, migrant farming, and other tasks. At any given time around the world, 3 out of 1,000 people are trapped in forced labor (UnicefUsa.org). What you may not realize is that human trafficking is very alive here in our own backyard - America, and reported in all 50 states. Prostitution controlled by pimps is just one of the forms of human trafficking going on in America. (via January Is Human Trafficking Awareness Month | Textbook Mommy)

In developing countries around the world, women and girls are missing crucial days of school and work because they lack the access to affordable maxi pads. The current options for these women are both pricey and some ineffective. Imported pads cost more than a day’s wage, and their other alternatives are ineffective such as cloth rags, mud, and tree bark. SHE has developed both a cost effective and eco-friendly menstrual pad that works. These pads are a much more affordable option priced at 5 cents/pad.

Every day 900 children are infected with AIDS.  90% of those children infected with HIV are a result of being passed from mother to child. What if we could knock that number down to 0?  The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation sees this as a possibility and has set a goal for that number by 2015.  This goal is achievable and prevention of new infections possible through preventative care.   (via World Aids Day 2012 | Textbook Mommy)
