The issue is a serious one. Every day, 4,000 children die due to illnesses from lack of drinking water. With global warming and increasing human population, the problem is likely to get worse .
The problem has become so pressing that National Geographic has made it a cover story. In April it ran an article titled The Burden of Thirst, penned by Pulitzer winner Tina Rosenberg and accompanied with photos by Lynn Johnson.
To help raise money and build five clean water wells, megree is featuring the photos from NG’s article for sale to raise funds for WaterAid’s work.
These photos are available exclusively online with megree until October. On September 23rd, photo journalist Lynn Johnson will host a special evening at the Soho Gallery in New York City to raise funds and awareness for WaterAid.
You can preview the photos exclusively on megree by clicking here.
