World Vision&rsquo;s programs include the voices of the poorest members of the community and collaborate with community leaders to solicit the participation of men and women, people of varying ages (from children through the elderly), as well as those with disabilities and illnesses. With our team of 500 WASH experts working with these communities worldwide, we reach one new person with safe water every 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&rdquo;Why does World Vision combine safe water with sanitation and hygiene?&rdquo; style=&rdquo;rounded_outline&rdquo; el_id=&rdquo;1472147849583-23dc7464-5695&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1552949963077{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Safe drinking water, improved sanitation, good hygiene, and good water resource management can lead to a reduction in child mortality, cut transmission of malaria, improve public health, and reduce extreme poverty. Providing hygiene education and sanitation facilities, like latrines and hand washing stations, dramatically multiplies the health benefits of safe water by helping to reduce disease transmission through fecal contamination and unwashed hands. Combining water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions can cut preventable child deaths by up to 57 percent, reduce chronic malnutrition by 40 percent, reduce school absenteeism among girls by 50 percent, and obtain an 8:1 economic return in target communities. So intertwined are the issues of water, sanitation and hygiene that they have been combined into one sector known in the global aid community as &ldquo;WASH&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&rdquo;How does World Vision provide safe water, and how does World Vision ensure water service developed from its programming is sustainable and effective?&rdquo; style=&rdquo;rounded_outline&rdquo; el_id=&rdquo;1472147846052-603eac2e-6418&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1552949973417{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]World Vision develops the most appropriate safe water source for each community we work in.

World Vision&rsquo;s programs include the voices of the poorest members of the community and collaborate with community leaders to solicit the participation of men and women, people of varying ages (from children through the elderly), as well as those with disabilities and illnesses. With our team of 500 WASH experts working with these communities worldwide, we reach one new person with safe water every 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&rdquo;Why does World Vision combine safe water with sanitation and hygiene?&rdquo; style=&rdquo;rounded_outline&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1552949963077{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Safe drinking water, improved sanitation, good hygiene, and good water resource management can lead to a reduction in child mortality, cut transmission of malaria, improve public health, and reduce extreme poverty. Providing hygiene education and sanitation facilities, like latrines and hand washing stations, dramatically multiplies the health benefits of safe water by helping to reduce disease transmission through fecal contamination and unwashed hands. Combining water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions can cut preventable child deaths by up to 57 percent, reduce chronic malnutrition by 40 percent, reduce school absenteeism among girls by 50 percent, and obtain an 8:1 economic return in target communities.
