NACRO supports Governments to ensure healthy lives and promote the well-being of all at all stages by increasing access to quality primary healthcare and ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation resources.
The UN recognizes the importance of health and clean water and sanitation, among other needs, to the wellbeing of individuals. UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number 3 and 6 involve health and clean water and sanitation, respectively. SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. SDG 6 is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. SDG 6 covers water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in communities but also in public institutions like schools. Improving access to clean water and sanitation services is essential for public health, wellbeing and achieving the SDGs. Improved sanitation ensures dignity and minimizes the risk of disease, thereby reducing overall vulnerability.
