Bad sanitation

People in Africa don’t practice the healthy sanitation habits that we are used to.

Chocking

“Every 15 seconds, a child dies because of diseases carried through unsafe drinking water.”

For example, they don’t have access to proper toilets, sinks, and showers. The human waste, dirt, and debris adds to the rivers and lakes that have drinking water. This contaminates the water and makes it unsafe.
the people and the government there cannot afford the expensive drills and wells.
. Africa is one of the most water-impoverished regions … and the lack of clean water claims the lives of 4,900 children every day. Lack of clean water worldwide, but especially in Africa, is a global crisis. More than one child in sub-Saharan Africa dies every minute from diarrhea disease — a direct result of inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.
 More than 288 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to improved drinking water sources, and more than 437 million lack access to improved sanitation. Millions of people in Africa are stricken with preventable diseases every year.
