I found this video on the WWW site of Walk For Water Ethiopia, a local hydrophilanthropy that will be conducting a 'walk for water' on 19 May.
Follow them on Twitter.
The video was produced by charity:water.
I like the video because it shows how the lack of clean drinking water affects many other things: education, opportunities, poverty, women and children, health, etc.
One complaint: when talking about women collecting water and the hazards they face, instead of saying "Sometimes, they're even attacked." it should be "Sometimes, they're even raped."
The 40 billion hours? That's how much time Africans, mainly women and girls, spend each year gathering water.
“Floods of humanity, lakes of peace, rivers of gold, the tides of war; all we are and do is linked to the water of life.” - David Mead
