Safe Water Campaign
Sanitation and hygiene are a basic human right, yet over 785 million people around the world live without access to drinking water.
That’s 785 million people who struggle every day to find a fundamental ingredient needed to sustain life. It’s not just drinking water though – did you know two out of five humans in the world live without access to soap or a handwashing facility? Without facilities to adequately clean and maintain hygiene, sickness and disease becomes rife and every single day over 800 children die from illnesses that are easily curable.
Access to clean water and basic sanitation is a basic human right, yet somehow despite living in an incredible world of technology and luxury, millions of people wake up every day not knowing where their next drink will come from.
In places like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Somalia, Gaza and Yemen people are living in extreme poverty and these lack of basic facilities result in people having to walk miles every day to get access to water. For adults, that means hours that could be spent working and earning an income whilst for children that’s a day of school missed.
