Copia - fighting the poverty: a goal for everybody

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Despite progress in access to clean drinking water and sanitation, billions of people, especially in rural areas, still lack these essential services. One in three people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water, two out of five lack basic handwashing facilities, and over 673 million still practice open defecation. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of hygiene and access to clean water in preventing diseases. Handwashing is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of pathogens, yet billions of people still lack safe water and sanitation, and funding remains insufficient.

Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all

CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

* Filtration: Removes large particles and impurities using sand, charcoal, or membrane filters. * Boiling: Kills bacteria and viruses but does not remove chemicals. * Chlorination: Adding chlorine kills harmful microbes. * Reverse Osmosis: Uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants. * UV Purification: Uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses. * Distillation: Heats water to produce steam, leaving contaminants behind.

Water Treatment Methods

Prevent pollution: avoid dumping chemicals, plastics and waste into water sources. Proper waste disposal: use septic systems properly and prevent industrial waste from entering water systems. Agricultural practices: reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers to prevent contamination.

Protect water sources

Haiti's water crisis is worsened by natural disasters, poverty, and inadequate infrastructure. The 2010 earthquake severely damaged water systems, leaving many without access to clean water. Water sources are often contaminated, leading to outbreaks of cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea, which disproportionately affect children. Only a small portion of the population has access to proper sanitation, and a lack of hygiene education exacerbates the issue. The government is working to improve the situation through awareness campaigns and investments in water and sanitation infrastructure, but frequent natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, continue to set back progress. Organizations like Healing Waters International provide solutions by installing water filtration systems, educating communities on hygiene practices, and empowering locals to manage their own water resources. With support from governments and donations, access to clean water in Haiti can be improved.

The Haiti Water Crisis

In 2022, Italy faced a serious water crisis, with only 67 billion cubic meters of water available-half of the usual amount. Climate change and extreme weather events are making the situation worse, and in 2023, there was still an 18% water shortage. Agriculture uses the most water (57%), followed by homes (31%) and industries (12%). However, only 46% of farms reuse treated wastewater, and extreme weather events are damaging crops. Water quality is also a problem, with pollution found in many rivers and underground sources. Italy also loses 42% of its drinking water due to leaks in old pipes, almost twice the European average. To solve this crisis, Italy needs to invest in modernizing its water system. Better irrigation methods, like drip irrigation, can save a lot of water. The country must also improve water management and raise awareness through campaigns like #WaterWiseEU, so everyone-citizens, businesses, and institutions-can help protect this precious resource.

Why Gender Equality is Important | Genially

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Gender equality is one of the most fundamental human rights, yet it remains a significant challenge across the world. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030. This objective focuses on addressing gender-based discrimination and violence, promoting equal opportunities, and ensuring the participation of women and girls in decision-making processes at all levels of society

Goal 2 of the 2030 Agenda focuses on ending hunger and ensuring everyone has access to safe, nutritious food all year. Right now, around 800 million people around the world do not have enough to eat. Many are children who need good nutrition to grow. When people do not get enough food, they cannot work or study well, and their health suffers. Ending hunger is important because well-nourished people are stronger and can improve their communities.
