WATER IS BASIC. A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.
1 in 4 people do not have access to safe water*
That’s 2.2 billion people worldwide^
Worldwide, women and girls spend over 200 million hours daily gathering water^^
Inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services mean that women and girls, in particular, still miss out on school, or opportunities to earn their own income, because they bear more of the burden when it comes to unpaid care and collecting water^^^
