Among the world’s ‘poly-crises’, the water crisis is one of the most crucial ones. Globally, approximately 2 billion people lacked access to safe drinking water in 2020 meaning that around 1.7 billion did not have access to basic sanitation.
According to Nature Water (2023) every year, more than 800,000 people die from diarrhoea, due to drinking of unsafe drinking water and a lack of sanitation. Most of those are in poorest countries like Uganda.
In 2015, the international community declared tackling the water crisis one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The sixth SDG commits the world to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”. But the UN acknowledges that SDG 6 is “alarmingly off track”
Finding water is an ongoing challenge for the poorest communities, young girls,single mothers, widows and orphans. With a charitable donation today, you can save a life.
Lack of water is a major challenge. Without water people can die, construction can’t take place, people stay unhealthy, children can miss school and also people can fail to work. Lack of water can cause dehydration also.
Having access to clean water can improve people’s health, eradicate poverty and education.
