BERMAN: So believe it or not, clean water is a luxury for one out of every six people. Every 20 seconds a child dies from a water borne disease.</s>ROMANS: Today is world water day. And efforts to combat this global crisis is the fight that a 2009 Top Ten CNN Hero Doc Henley wages every day. And recently it's taken him to the front lines of another humanitarian emergency in Syria look.</s>DOC HENLDEY, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, WINE TO WATER: Here in the U.S., it's hard for us to understand the water crisis, because we have it right at our fingertips. There are some countries where it takes many women and children four and five hours every single day just to get water and then it's absolutely filthy, and it's their children sick. When you see that first hand, you can't help but be changed from that. My name is Doc Henley, I used to be a bartender and now I bring clean water to the world. The water is not going to make you feel sick to your stomach anymore. CNN HEROES changed everything. Before we were able to reach four different countries, now we're in 15 different countries. Syria is the latest one. In Syria, every single day, people are leaving their homes. Fleeing to the border areas. In these camps -- the living conditions, they're terrible. They don't have access to even the basic essentials. Right now, we're actively working in two camps in the northwestern region of Syria. I was able to bring about 350 water filters just a couple months ago. Syria is the first location that we're actually using these filters, and they filter up to 250 gallons of water every single day. We have a partnership with an organization called Stop Hunger Now. We'll be sending a container with about 250,000 meals and another thousand water filters. This will be just the first of many shipments hopefully. There's really no way to describe the feeling when you see a family have crystal clear clean water the first time. A lot of people think what can we do? You can make a difference in one family's lives, I could choose things.</s>BERMAN: Our "End Point" is next.
