Description:

Water is the essence of life and human dignity. Sufficient, safe, physically accessible, and affordable water is vital for all. Despite great strides over the last decades, 1.1 billion people living in rural areas and urban slums still rely on unsafe drinking water from rivers, lakes, and open wells. Children suffer greatly from water-related illnesses. Every year, nearly 2 million children die from the consequences of diarrhea and other diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery.

CDC works with many global partners to develop and distribute simple and inexpensive disinfection and filtration systems that make an immediate difference in the lives of the worst affected. On another front: in collaboration with The Carter Center, CDC has worked to develop strategies to eradicate Guinea worm disease from sub-Saharan Africa. This water-borne parasitic disease is about to be conquered—a global public health achievement.
