Description

Students,

As with food, there is actually enough fresh water for each person currently living on the planet. However, access to that water is not always possible for everyone.

Issues such as poor infrastructure, displacement and conflict mean that many people often have to use unsafe water sources. This is a clear health and sanitation risk.

About two billion people still use a water source that is contaminated with human waste, and about the same amount don’t have access to adequate toilet facilities.

The UN has set the goal of ensuring equal access to water and sanitation for all. This is represented by UN SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

On our community development projects across the world, we’ve worked with local partners to complete infrastructure development projects to increase the community’s access to clean water.

In both South Africa and Fiji we have previously supported the community on projects to construct rainwater harvesting systems.
