Water connects every aspect of life. Access to safe water and sanitation can quickly turn problems into potential – empowering people with time for school and work, and contributing to improved health for women, children, and families around the world.
Today, 785 million people – 1 in 9 – lack access to safe water and 2 billion people – 1 in 3 – lack access to a toilet. These are the people we empower.
The Tropics are one of the hottest regions on earth- which means access to safe, fresh water is imperative. However, some areas throughout this region suffer from droughts and water shortages, meaning they can’t always collect safe, fresh water. Without fresh water, a number of dangerous diseases are accessible to everyone- cholera being one of them. Water is a basic human right- and our bodies need this liquid in order to survive: to hydrate our bodies, feed our cells, and to respirate. No water access can break down communities- turn a happy, thriving village into a wasting, sick one. As I mentioned before, cholera is one of the diseases that arises in the case of severe water shortage. Symptoms of this include severe diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, irritability, fatigue, sunken eyes, a dry mouth, dry skin, malnourishment, low blood pressure, little or no urination and an irregular heartbeat. In rare and extreme cases, it can lead to death. Altogether, lack of access to safe and fresh water can potentially lead to many fatalities, community breakdowns and economic imbalance.
