Waterborne Diseases in Tanzania
The video states that there are 1.7 million water programs at work around the world, addressing the lack of clean water for drinking! This is an astounding number!
It is especially astounding when you consider that having a clean source of water is only part of the solution. Much of the answer to the world drinking water crisis lies in teaching and passing on practices and customs that will result in cleaner water.
Many people live where there is no source of clean water and, in fact, the water that we, in the United States drink, is often not from a clean source, but is treated to make it safe before we drink it.
Simple things like hand washing with soap, basic sanitation and hygiene practices, and water filtration and treatment can make the difference between drinking safe water and drinking dangerous water.

Waterborne diseases like cholera and diarrhea are part of the wretched conditions of these camps.
The World Health Organization is working to improve conditions for the refugees and to provide them with safe drinking water.
