Safe drinking-water, sanitation and hygiene are crucial to human health and well-being. It is not only a prerequisite to health, but contributes also to our livelihoods helping to create resilient communities living in healthy environments. Poor hygiene, inadequate quantities and quality of drinking water, and lack of sanitation facilities cause millions of the world’s poorest people to die from preventable diseases each year.
EFFECT OF CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION IN DISEASES CONTROL IN AFRICA: SDG GOAL 6: CLEAN WATER & SANITATION
Access to water, sanitation and hygiene is a human right, yet billions are still faced with daily challenges accessing even the most basic of services. Around 1.8 billion people globally use a source of drinking water that is feacally contaminated while about 2.4 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines. Water scarcity affects more than 40% of the global population and is projected to rise. More than 80% of wastewater resulting from human activities is discharged into rivers or sea without any treatment, leading to pollution.
For this project, data was scrapped from different sources: global citizen.org rotaryserviceblog. org (2018) \www.un.org/ sustainabledevelopment lifewater.org who.int
Data was uploaded to PowerQuery and cleaned. The headers were renamed where necessary, and data type were put in their right format. The year was collected and put in a new column
The following insights were analyzed
- Countries with or without sanitaion Services
- Countries with or without health services
- Countries with or without access to water services
- Clean water and sanitation world view representation
- Top 10 Countries with reported death of Cholera
