My grand challenge is to provide access to clean water for everyone. Improving the life globally does not just come from improving the environment, but a large part of improving life involves providing clean access of water, a key to survival, for everyone. Our planet is 71% water, however currently only 3.5% of this water is drinkable. I want to increase this percentage, in order to help give the 783 million people who do not have access to clean water the access that all people deserve.
