- Water and Sanitation
Clean water and sanitation are crucial for any community's survival and economic growth. The shortage of safe drinking water exposes the individuals of an area to waterborne disease. It affects the health and capabilities of the population, making it harder for them to gain physical and financial independence. It results in drastic consequences for growing children who struggle to develop at the expected rate because of contracting illnesses in infancy. The danger to children implies less hope for a better future.
Poor sanitation is equally responsible for the spread of infectious diseases. Living in unhygienic conditions means living without safe toilets or necessary washing facilities. It consequently results in the spread of bacteria. It also affects the well-being and independence of girls and women in a community. The lack of privacy for using toilets causes anxiety in girls and increases risks of violence, sexual assaults, and missed school and work opportunities.
