The total sales of this year’s Amazon’s ‘Prime Day’ of USD$11.2 billion would cover the cost of ensuring everyone in the poorest countries could wash their hands with soap and water at home by 2030, WaterAid said today.
As India faces a deadly second wave of Covid-19, international organization WaterAid has launched an urgent appeal to bring vital water, toilet and hygiene facilities to health centers and vulnerable communities as well as urgent support to frontline sanitation workers to help protect lives.
The impact of climate change on people’s water supplies is being overlooked – threatening to put progress on bringing clean water to all back decades unless urgent action is taken to help the world’s poorest communities adjust to changing weather patterns.
