Desalination with solar and wind power

What is the second most abundant resource on earth? Water.
Why are people living within walking distance of this resource dying of thirst, hunger and malnutrition? It's unfit to drink.
Why aren't we doing something about it???
I have a dream to build a solar and wind powered desalination plant on a ship or barge, and pump fresh water to shore any time the sun shines or the wind blows. The components are all commercially available and can be put together. I estimate a 20,000 gallon-per-day system can be build and located for less than $1M.
I'll need some help, of course, first with the formation of a non-profit corporation or foundation, then fundraising, government/UN assistance (for siting the unit where needed - southern Mexico?) and assembly.
Anyone care to help or offer assistance with this?
