Poor water and sanitation threaten the lives of many communities affecting women and children the most. “Water and Sanitation is a cornerstone of public health,” said WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan. “Improved sanitation contributes enormously to human health and well-being, especially for girls and women. We know that simple, achievable interventions can reduce the risk of contracting diarrheal disease by a third.”
Many children, women, and youth living in remote villages do not have access to a prepared build toilet nor do they have access to safe drinking water. They are required to use stream water to bathe and drink presenting many health concerns. Their situation is a direct result of poverty and the inability of local leadership to address such alarming issues. For the past few years, MYCRO has partnered with organizations that are experts in clean water and sanitation services to address such issues. With our passionate partners, MYCRO is working to construct over 600 water wells, 700 Taps, and 900 community Toilets targeting communities in need of this service.
