According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), more than one billion people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water. What’s worse is that nearly 5,000 children die every day because of drinking dirty water. While a few charities and organizations have drawn attention to the crisis, this issue has gone largely unnoticed. One mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter is fighting to change that.
