Yesterday we began a weeks training for some of our teachers in Kathmandu to help them add "Water & Sanitation" education to the school curriculum. Perfect timing as a report today from the charityWater Aid shows. Once again charities are getting the WRONG priorities ......"Millions of children's lives are being put at risk each year because aid agencies and governments make wrong choices about health care priorities.
This is the conclusion of a new report from the charity WaterAid.
It says that diarrhoea caused by poor sanitation is killing many more children than HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria combined.
The report says the global spending on HIV/Aids hugely outweighs the amounts spent on providing better sanitation. "
