GOAL 6 | Clean Water and Sanitation


GOAL 6 IN ACTION

This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life.

THE TARGETS

Everyone can help to make sure that we meet the Global Goals. Use these eight targets to ensure clean water and sanitation for all.
