Water diaries
| Every 20 seconds worldwide, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. That's 1.5 million preventable deaths each year.
In Cambodia, contaminated drinking water is a major health risk. Over the past five years, the British Red Cross has improved water and sanitation for more than 60,000 people in the country, but there is still a huge amount of work to do. Almost half of the population do not have access to safe, clean water.
