Coca-Cola Pledges $30 Million to Clean Water Projects in Africa

According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million Africans lack access to safe drinking water, and millions die each year from preventable waterborne illnesses. What's more, up to half of the region's population suffers from diseases related to unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation. Between 2004 and 2015, the number of people living without access to safe water in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase by 47 million people.
