Hygiene + Water

You know that feeling when you come home after long exhausting day, you fill a bathtub with hot water with so many bubbles and then you quickly jump in and just relax. Yes, such a sweet feeling. Or what if you suddenly get thirsty? No problem, just fill your cup with water from the nearest washbasin and drink it. Alright, now imagine that the nearest water source is a few miles far away and you are the chosen one who has to grab a jerry can and go there and bring water to your home. Yes, it might seem fine, it is just a few miles and it may be not really exhausting to get there, but what about walking back home with full jerry can which can suddenly weight a few pounds? And what is even worse is the fact that water is turbid and it´s probably just from some river.

According to the latest statistics, there are around 650 million people who don´t have access to clean drinking and safe water sources. Most of them still use turbid water from rivers or lakes for cooking, drinking, washing up and other hygiene things. It mostly leads to bad hygiene conditions - families tend to be more sick or affected by illnesses which could be easily prevented by using safe water sources. It is known that around 1,5 million people die every year because they simply don´t have access to clean drinking water or basic sanitation. The most vulnerable are children who might suffer from absolutely banal sicknesses, such as diarrhea or stomachache. More than a half a million children die because of lack of drinking water or water sources every year.  

Apart from unsafe water sources, there is another problem - many people simply lack basic hygiene habits. Especially in the remote and poor areas it is not very well known that washing your hands before eating is just a basic things everybody should know and practise. And this is just one of the basic habits which can help them to improve and save their health condition. Many people, especially girls and women suffer from lack of separated bathrooms or toilets. Unfortunately, a sad fact is that if girls don´t have access to separated bathrooms, they are very often mugged and abused, what means that they are then embarrassed by others. Actually this is also one of the reasons why many families, especially mothers, refuse to let their girls go to school. They either worry about their safety or they want their daughters to stay at home and help them to carry water from the nearest water source.

Access to clean drinking water is one of the basic human rights. Clean drinking water should not be only privilege of rich continents or countries, but also people from worse living conditions should have chance to have it. Better hygiene conditions, clean drinking water, better bathrooms - this all can improve living conditions of people all around the world. In the following years, there is a plan to improve access to water sources in the most vulnerable and affected areas. Schools should have new basic separated bathrooms for girls and boys. There has been a huge improvement in last 15 years in this issue and area, so it is expected that the number will have been lower by 2030.

Education

Education is a basic human right. It is not any privilege and every child should have a chance to go to school. Education is a key to a better future, more job opportunities and improvement in life standards. The children who can go to school and educate themselves are often the ones who can make a huge development in their society. It is known that these children can live healthier lifestyle and take the lead on various issues of their countries.

Well educated youths (especially from developing countries) have a higher chance of getting out from poverty, because thanks to education, they can receive useful skills and knowledge about health, finances, relationships or literacy in general. The adults with good education are also most likely to have more stable families than the ones who barely went to school. Their children are suppossed to receive better healthcare and education.

Despite the improvement in the last years, there are still around 60 million children who don´t go to school. The worst situation is in Sub-Sahara Africa where you could find more than half of these mentioned children. According to statistics, around 25 million kids will never step inside any school nor classroom.

Apart from these big numbers, there is also another scary fact. It was proven that even though some children can finish at least a few years of school attendance, many of them lack basic knowledges, such as writing, reading or doing basic mathematics. According to statistics from 2011, there were around 250 million of these children even though 130 million children attended school on daily baisis. This is not only issue of poor and development world, but also of countries in Europe or America. There is lack of well skilled teachers and leaders who can not only prepare students for their exams, but who can also motivate pupils to study and get more knowledge.

Boys who have a chance to be educated and go to school are less likely to join streets or drugs gangs, fight with military group or fall for violence. Same applies for girls, who are less likely to be married early, they can take better care of their babies and they are less likely to fall for prostutition.

Everybody has the right to be educated. In some areas are many traditions and habits which prevent girls and women from getting the education and being literate. Early marriage is one of the biggest issue right now. It is known that women with basic education have more stable families with only a few children who are also less likely to die at low age. The women or girls can also search for jobs and fund education and healthcare for their children.

There are still many tasks and goals which should be achieved by 2030, such as reduce children out of school, reduce inequality and improve skills and knowledge of teachers.
