Bringing Safe Water Closer

Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of people, an alarming figure that is projected to rise as temperatures do. Although 2.1 billion people have improved water sanitation since 1990, dwindling drinking water supplies are affecting every continent.
More and more countries are experiencing water stress, and increasing drought and desertification are already worsening these trends. By 2050, it is projected that at least one in four people will suffer recurring water shortages.
Safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires we invest in adequate infrastructure, provide sanitation facilities, and encourage hygiene. Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems is essential.
Ensuring universal safe and affordable drinking water involves reaching over 800 million people who lack basic services and improving accessibility and safety of services for over two billion.
In 2015, 4.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation services (with adequately disposed or treated excreta) and 2.3 billion lacked even basic sanitation.
Our project seeks to promote the achievement of universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all in communities where access to clean water is a luxury.
Through construction of improved sanitation facilities we are helping to reduce health risks to women and girls in developing countries who do not have access to basic toilets facilities opening them up to acts of sexual violence.
Our ocean and beach clean up projects contribute towards improving water quality. We work with volunteers and youth around the world to reduce plastic pollution. We also assist with design of wastewater treatment plants to encourage recycling and safe reuse of water.
Our project carries out needs assessment in regions experiencing fresh water scarcity to design sustainable water distribution systems. This is done in consultation with local governments and like-minded NGOs.
The global reach of the project through the data4WASH platform encourages transfer of best practices at a community level. The
platform also provides an avenue to increase funding towards WASH activities in developing countries.
Through capacity building communities learn best WASH practices that they can translate into their day-to-day lives, as well as how to hold their governments accountable to provide basic water and sanitation facilities.
