The document summarizes water access issues in rural Ethiopia and around the world. In rural Ethiopia, many people lack access to clean water and sanitation, with women and children walking long distances each day to collect water from unprotected sources to use for their basic needs. A lack of clean water and sanitation globally contributes to millions of preventable child deaths from water-related diseases each year.
Village Water
Clean water and sanitation saves lives in Zambia where life expectancy is low and child mortality is high due to water-borne diseases. Village Water carries out projects to provide clean water and sanitation education in rural Zambian communities, helping over 75,000 people since 2004. Their work trains communities to construct toilets and handwashing facilities, maintain pumps, and establish hygiene practices to reduce disease and death while enabling community development.
Towards accessing clean drinking water
Over 750 million people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water, including 358 million Africans. In Kenya specifically, 17.3 million people, or 37.7% of the population, lack clean drinking water according to the Ministry of Health. Providing universal access to clean water was a goal of the UN's Millennium Development Goals by 2015, but this target was not met due to challenges of contamination during transport and storage as well as low sanitation levels. Private organizations like P&G have partnered with governments and NGOs to increase access, such as donating water purification sachets in Nairobi slums, but more efforts are still needed from all sectors to combat this crisis that claims

Africa's Water - Thirst for Hope
The document discusses the lack of access to clean drinking water in Africa and its consequences. It notes that 19 of the 25 nations with the highest percentage of people without access to safe drinking water are in Africa. It describes how many Africans have to use polluted water sources for drinking, bathing, and sanitation, which spreads diseases and causes 700,000 deaths in Africa each year from water-borne illnesses. It calls on people, particularly in America, to help address this crisis through donations to organizations working to provide clean water in Africa.
World toilet day 2012
Access to sanitation is one of the Millennium Development Goals that is furthest off track from being met by 2015 according to the UN Special Rapporteur. World Toilet Day was established in 2001 to raise awareness about the billions of people worldwide who lack access to basic sanitation. While some progress has been made in certain areas through programs that provide funding for basic toilets and sanitation infrastructure, a huge gap remains with over 1 billion people still practicing open defecation and many schools and communities lacking even basic sanitation facilities. Improving global sanitation and hygiene is critical for public health but has proven to be one of the most challenging development goals.
Fruition Technology Labs
More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes, with 780 million people lacking access to clean drinking water despite mobile phone access being more widespread. While technology has connected many, over 1.3 billion people still lack electricity even 50 years later, and this number is projected to remain unchanged through 2030 without intervention. The document calls on readers to use technology and innovation to help solve issues of access to clean water, sanitation, and electricity through invention, reinvention, and global approaches in order to empower people and curb human misery, as envisioned by John F. Kennedy.

1) India faces many challenges related to access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Over 894 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water and over 1.1 billion people have no access to any improved drinking water source.
2) Poor sanitation and lack of access to clean water have significant negative health impacts, especially for children, including being the leading cause of disease worldwide and causing over 1.6 million deaths per year from diarrheal diseases.
3) While progress has been made in expanding access to sanitation and clean water in India, with nearly 68% of the rural population now having access, many issues around water quality, availability, and sustainable access to sanitation remain.
ELECTRONICA
The document discusses the causes and solutions to poor access to clean water and sanitation facilities. The key causes identified include unreliable rainfall damaging rural livelihoods and increasing urban migration, land scarcity in rural areas, and poverty among slum dwellers. Proposed solutions include increasing literacy and hygiene education, empowering rural economies, providing low-cost housing and sanitation, and utilizing technologies like solar distillation and water filtration. The implementation of these solutions is expected to raise literacy rates, increase awareness through NGO efforts, boost employment, and help more countries develop. Challenges remain around ensuring access to water for all given issues like pollution, inefficient distribution, and contamination.
Water mission
The National Water Mission's main objective is to conserve water and ensure its equitable distribution across and within states through integrated water resource development and management. Some ways to conserve water include using only as much as needed, closing taps after use instead of letting them run, checking for leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and reusing leftover water on plants. Improving access to safe drinking water could help reduce the number of people who die daily from water-related diseases.
