Inadequate access to clean water and sanitation is linked to the spread of preventable diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid, which disproportionately affect children and contribute to high mortality rates. Furthermore, the lack of proper hygiene facilities in schools, especially for girls, often leads to reduced attendance and higher dropout rates, perpetuating cycles of poverty and gender inequality. Addressing the WASH crisis is not just a matter of infrastructure — it is a fundamental human rights issue that underpins sustainable development, social justice, and global equity.
