THE CINDERELLA PROBLEM

Polls prove that more than 1 billion people have no access to clean wather, and more than 2.5 billion people from over the world still have no a safe place to go to the toilet.

This is a really big problem, and the consequences are the fact that dirty water kills children every day, even these illness and diseases can be solved only usign clean water.

Fortunately, this situation is being changed by some countries, the UN and its committments; even countries like Northern Africa and Latin America are reaching the goals completely.

Sadly, this can't be solved for all the countries in the world that nned suitable drainages in humble slums, because they need help from its Government, and this is the big blindspot: politicians, ministries, etc., do not worry about it, because it is still a taboo subject: they prefer to demonstrate good results for illness like malaria than try to provide and give access to clean water in slums or marginal streets; actually, most of the countries donor its fundings to Health and Education.

Despite this, some donor countries are beginning to see the benefits: Bangladesh, Senegal or South Africa, for instance, are making progress about it.

It's a fact that rich countries do not have illness or diseases problems because of using dirty water or having a bad drainage in most humble slums. The reason is simple: they don't have dirty water, and they can do daily routines with no worries about it.

However, this is one of the big problems for underdeveloped countries: preventable diseases like diarrhoea kills children in these countries because of drinking unsafe water.

Taking this into consideration, I think that the solution of the problem is the helpness of the developed countreis, and they have the big responsibility to solve that important thing which cause illness or diseases whcih are preventable in advance, and taht can be treated in countries like Bangladesh or South Africa.
