The world now comes together in South Africa to celebrate football and to cheer the teams to victory. However, the sad news is that during the time-span of each match, 140 African children will lose their lives to preventable diarrhea. In fact, diarrhea caused by dirty water, lack of toilets and poor hygiene kills more children than malaria, measles and HIV/AIDS combined!
This crisis has no place in the 21st century and it is high time we all redouble our efforts to end it. Didier Drogba, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Stephen Appiah, Michael Ballack and many other superstars have already teamed up with WASH United to fight for safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene for all people.
When will you join WASH United and become a Champion for WASH?
And, a gentle reminder:
An online discussion on consumers rights in the Indonesian water services sector will be held on Wednesday, 2nd of June 2010 at 19.00 (GMT+0) in here. More detail.
