According to UNICEF, more than 1.6 million young children die each year from waterborne infections that are brought on by a lack of access to safe water. Girls frequently have to leave primary school since there aren't separate, adequate restrooms available at their schools. The bulk of the 120 million school-age children who are not in attendance are female. Numerous children get parasite-related intestinal illnesses. Roundworm and whipworm infections affect 19.5 million people annually, with school-age children having the greatest infection rates. Additionally, it is projected that 118.9 million children under the age of 15 experience schistosomiasis (also known as bilharzia), a condition brought on by parasitic flatworms. Parasites deplete nutrients, worsen malnutrition, slow down children's physical development, and have a negative impact on students' attendance and academic performance. We can lessen poverty and suffering and guarantee education for all children by providing clean water and sanitation to the world's poorest people, according to UNICEF.
