Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6 or Global Goal 6) is about Clean Water and Sanitation for all. It is one of 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015.
Sustainable management of water resources and access to safe water and sanitation are essential for unlocking economic growth and productivity, and provide significant leverage for existing investments in health and education.
According to UNICEF, over 60 million people in Nigeria still lack access to clean water. Poor access to clean water and sanitation in Nigeria remains a major contributing factor to high morbidity and mortality rates among children under 5 years. Drinking contaminated water and poor sanitary conditions results in increased vulnerability to waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, polio and diarrhea, leading to deaths of over 700,000 children under 5 years annually.
Our projects involves drilling boreholes for rural communities and teaching people about proper sanitation and good hygiene.
