THIRD WORLD and CHILDREN
Water is Life! Safe water is a necessity, but a 6th of the world’s population don’t have it- as a consequence a child dies every 15 seconds from water related diseases. WaterAid works in partnership with poor communities in Africa and Asia helping them to build and maintain their own water and sanitation facilities, such as tap stands and toilets, and providing them with the hygiene education, such as hand washing, that is necessary to make the best use of these facilities. WaterAid’s work is sustainable and low-cost, just £11 could pay for a latrine in India, and £20 for the tools to construct a hand-dug well in Ghana.
