This is just incredible! If this is true then Nestlé is a monster that should be a matter for the governments of the world! Rawia, Imagine being so thirsty that you drink water contaminated with raw sewage. According to the World Health Organization, over a billion people in the developing world lack access to sanitary drinking water, and 2 million people die every year as a result -- most of them children under 5 years old. But now Nestlé is going into poor countries like Pakistan and buying up whatever clean water is available so they can sell it in plastic bottles to Europeans, Australians, and Americans. This is just appalling. SumOfUs was created to use the collective power of consumers worldwide to stop corporate abuses -- and it doesnt get any worse than this. These are the poorest people in the world -- and they have no chance against a corporate giant like Nestlé unless the rest of us stand with them. Nestlés annual meeting is next week in Switzerland, and we urgently need to get campaigners on the ground as senior management and shareholders arrive. Can you chip in $1 to make sure Nestlé hears our message? Yes, Ill donate $1 to stop Nestlés predatory exploitation of water resources in developing countries. Lack of access to clean drinking water is one of the top killers in the world. And Nestlé is making that problem worse. For instance, in the small Pakistani village of Bhati Dilwan, villagers have watched their water table sink hundreds of feet since Nestlé moved in, and now children are getting sick from the foul-smelling sludge they’re forced to drink. People in wealthy nations are waking up to the fact that bottled water is in most cases no more healthy or clean than tap water. But its the way Nestlé is stealing the last clean water from the poorest countries in the world that will really turn people off bottled water for good. Millions of children are dying for lack of clean water. We cant let Nestlé steal what little they have. Can you chip in $1 to help stop Nestlé from gobbling up the rights to scarce clean water resources in the developing world? Thanks for making your voices heard, Paul and the team at SumOfUs.org
