Inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is still a big challenge to many communities and this impacts the livelihood, wellbeing and health of many people across the world. According to a joint programme by UNICEF and WHO it has been established that more than 844 million people do not have an access to basic drinking water. In addition, it is estimated that more than 2.3 billion people do not have an access to basic sanitation services while more than 892 million people worldwide are still practising open defecation as of 2017.
The UN’ SDG6 aims at ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. In line with this objective, Humanitarian Global has collaborated with the world’s best WASH experts to prepare an introductory course in WASH that aims at empowering more people to steer this goal. This online programme will help you kickstart your career in the WASH sector that will play a critical role in impacting the world towards achieving a healthy and sustainable world.
