In our high-tech world it is hard to imagine that every day 800 kids under the age of five die due to ill health caused by lack of clean water and lack of sanitation.
The UN came up with a holistic view on the problem - clean water sources without the presence of proper sanitation infrastructure won’t stay clean for long; proper sanitation without understanding basic hygiene won’t fly either. In comes the notion of WASH - an acronym for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.
In today’s episode we delve into the world of WASH and talk about the challenges - both practical and financial.
