Backround: Water is something that every human needs to survive and it should be given to everyone in the world. It's a misfortune to report that some countries fail to have the essential needs to provide clean water to every citizen. This problem is mainly found in South East Asia. The lack of water sanitation is the cause of rapid urban development.

UN Involvement: The program WHO and UNICEF have a program together for water supply and sanitation, known as JMP. Also, a Millenium Project task Force on Water and Sanitation is helping this problem stop. These main groups are trying to help countries with the biggest problem. There is also an Asian Development Bank, who are trying to come with solutions to help this problem around the world. Also WHO and UNICEF invites countries further for support sanitation programs.

Nation Involvement: "The Government of Kenya gives the support of: Water and Sanitation Programmes: Kenya has developed and is currently implementing a national tool on participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation. Also, initated school sanitation and hygiene programmes to compliment the government's free and compulsory education; and piloting Ecological Sanitation in two selected districts.

Solutions: We should really promote to all countries the importance of being careful and using our precius, clean, water wisely. This not wasting it because other countries such as South East Asia do not have the same privilage of having clean water in handy. This will actually work because all together working together can collect a lot of extra clean water to lend to other countries that don't have it.We can start by pubicizing it in the media, radio, shools, everywhere possible, and together we can make a change.
