Summit on the Summit
On January 7th, be sure to check out the Summit on the Summit as Lupe Fiasco, Alexandra Cousteau, Simon Isaacs and other celebrity activists will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about the clean water crisis.
Here in Atlanta, we'll be rooting for Simon Issacs who is the Senior Director of Cause Marketing at Ignition inc. Recently at Freeworld Media, we've worked with Simon on a few international cause / brand marketing projects and the guy is impressive. While at the United Nations he started the Global Water Challange and last year he ran around the world for the Blue Planet Run.
This issue is unbelievably important to our future and it's great to see the Summit on the Summit climbers bringing attention to the lack of clean water in the world. Here are a few facts from Water.org:
- 3.575 million people die each year from water-related disease.
- 43% of water-related deaths are due to diarrhea.
- 84% of water-related deaths are in children ages 0 – 14.
