The Global Water Crisis: Quenching the Thirst of Millions
In our modern world, it’s staggering to realize that 1 in 3 individuals still grapple with the scarcity of safe drinking water. Even more concerning, over 2 in 5 people worldwide are deprived of basic sanitation facilities. This isn’t just a matter of convenience; it’s a matter of life and health. A staggering 80% of illnesses in developing nations can be traced back to inadequate water and sanitation.
Water and Sanitation: A Fundamental Human Right
The United Nations doesn’t just recognise access to clean water and proper sanitation as essential; it deems them human rights. They’re also pivotal components of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, underscoring the global commitment to addressing this crisis.
