The state of water and sanitation is a global health crisis.
Some 10 million children have died since 2000 of diarrhoeal illnesses, directly
linked to growing up without clean water, basic toilets and hygiene.
1.8 billion people drink water contaminated with fecal
matter.
It’s fair to assume that this is linked to the 2.5 billion
people still without a basic toilet. Too much money is being invested in
finding or making clean water, and not enough ending the waste that
contaminates it.
