ARLINGTON, VA, October 19, 2015 /3BL Media/ – Around the world, 884 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and 2.6 billion have inadequate sanitation. Every 20 seconds, a child dies of preventable water-borne disease. These water-related challenges stunt international development and economic growth around the world. In response, Know Obstacles, Global Water Challenge and H2O for Life are teaming up to bring awareness of these challenges.

To do so, American Ninja Warrior finalists Nick Coolridge and Meagan Martin and parkour athletes Max Henry and Jesse Danger will work with Know Obstacles to crowdsource funds for a film entitled iKnowObstacles: Water Crisis. The film will follow the athletes as they journey halfway across the globe to Africa to experience firsthand what it means to live where the world's water and sanitation crisis is a daily challenge. While in South Africa, the athletes will visit two elementary schools to learn from the faculty and children about the trials they face daily regarding access to clean drinking water and sanitation, and the obstacles they’ve learned to overcome.
