Description:
In 2010, more than 780 million people did not have access to improved water sources and 2.5 billion people lacked access to improved sanitation. At any given time, close to half the people living in the developing world are suffering from one or more diseases associated with inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). The most recognized WASH disease is diarrheal illness, which caused 801,000 deaths in children worldwide in 2010.3 Millions more suffer from devastating WASH-related neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), such as soil-transmitted helminthiases (STHs), Guinea worm disease (GWD), trachoma, and schistosomiasis.
