Water Irrigation & Sanitation
Water is a basic need of all human beings, without which people cannot survive.It is shocking to hear in this modern era of technology and excess material resources that there are millions still without water.It is our collective duty to work tirelessly to provide the source of life to all human beings everywhere.We are regularly providing mechanisms and building infrastructures within communities, along with our partners, to provide a system of water irrigantion for domestic, agricultural and industrial usage.Please join us in this work.
What is the problem?
There is a global crisis in water and sanitation. Billions of people live in the kind of squalor and disease that was eradicated long ago in the rich world.Without sanitation and water there can be no sustainable development in health, education and livelihoods, locking people into a cycle of poverty and disease.This crisis is one of inequality and poverty. If it is not tackled decisively, it will prevent and undermine progress made in reducing poverty, in achieving universal primary education, and improving people’s basic health.
End Water Poverty aims to change policy and practices according to these key principles:
- Equity – by targeting services at the most marginalised groups, such as older people, the poor, disabled people and women
- Poverty reduction
- Sustainability of services and water resources
- Accountability, so that key decision-makers are held to account by the poor through transparent and open planning processes
How are poor people in developing countries affected by this crisis?
- 884 million lack access to clean water
- 2.5 billion lack access to basic sanitation
