Why is water and sanitation so important ?...


Safe drinking water and sanitation is a precondition …

For peace and security
For disease prevention
For maternal and child health

For education …
For development !

For Peace and Security

“Many of today’s conflicts around the world are being fuelled by water
shortages… Increasingly, fights are erupting over such basic human needs as
water and arable land”.
Ban Ki-moon, February, 2008


For Disease prevention

For Maternal and child health

For Basic education and literacy

We cán do something about it …

Jacob van Lennep
There’s no reason why 1 billion people
should not have access to safe drinking water
and 2.5 billion don’t even have basic sanitation

It only takes € 1 à € 5 per year to really change someone’s life

“Safe drinking water is perhaps the most
effective way to eradicate poverty.”
(UN University, 2008)
