Combating Waterborne Diseases
In a report published by UNESCO on behalf of UN-Water, over 2 billion people (26% of the population) do not have safe drinking water and 3.6 billion (46%) lack access to safely managed sanitation globally. The global urban population facing water scarcity is projected to double from 930 million in 2016 to 1.7–2.4 billion people in 2050. READ MORE
This unavailability of clean water could also create an incidence of water-borne diseases, especially in poor communities.
GCVSI uses the following strategies to take care of this:
- Provision of Clean Water in Underserved Communities through the Construction of Pipe borne Water Projects
GCVSI is dedicated to addressing water-borne diseases at their source by implementing sustainable solutions. We undertake the construction of pipe-borne water projects in underserved communities, ensuring access to clean and safe water. This proactive approach aims to eliminate the root causes of waterborne diseases, promoting public health and enhancing the overall well-being of the communities we serve.
- Advocacy and Storytelling through Documentaries about Water Shortages in Underserved Communities
GCVSI recognizes the power of advocacy in driving systemic change. Through compelling storytelling and documentaries, we shed light on the water shortages faced by underserved communities. This advocacy not only raises awareness but also holds authorities accountable for addressing the critical issue of water scarcity. By amplifying the voices of those affected, we strive to catalyze meaningful policy changes and interventions
- Provision of Treatment Chemicals and Materials to Underserved Communities
GCVSI takes a hands-on approach to combat water-borne diseases by providing essential treatment chemicals and materials to underserved communities. This includes water purification tablets, filtration systems, and sanitation materials. By equipping communities with the tools to treat and purify their water sources, we empower them to proactively safeguard against waterborne diseases, fostering a sustainable and resilient environment.
- Collaboration with Authorities to Implement Safe Drinking Water Projects
GCVSI recognizes the importance of collaborative efforts in ensuring lasting impact. We actively engage with authorities to implement safe drinking water projects. Through partnerships with local and national governments, we leverage resources and expertise to create infrastructure that ensures a consistent supply of clean water. This collaborative approach is integral to the long-term success of our initiatives, promoting community health and resilience.
