The Facts

Washing your hands, drinking safe water and using basic sanitation facilities, such as toilets, can help prevent disease. Yet, every day 5,000 children die because of diseases spread by poor sanitation and unclean water. In fact, this is one of the leading causes of death in children under the age of five.

Safe water and basic sanitation are critical for child survival, development and growth. However, half of all children born this year in developing countries will live in households without access to basic sanitation facilities. One-fifth will not have access to sustainable sources of drinking water.

With improved sanitation and access to safe water, they can easily prevent millions of cases of diarrhea, which result in so many children dying or becoming seriously ill. They urgently need the government to champion the 'Global Framework for Action' launched last year, which aims to tackle the crisis. You can help by taking their quick campaign action.
