Child welfare



Child welfare ought really to cover all sorts of topics, such as better water and sanitation and good roads, and clean streets and public parks and playgrounds.
The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at any cost.

WATER IS PRECIOUS

Only one-third of the water that annually runs to the sea is accessible to humans. Of this, more than half is already being appropriated and used. This proportion might not seem so much, but demand will double in thirty years. And much of what is available is degraded by eroded silt, sewage, industrial pollution, chemicals, excess nutrients, and plagues of algae. Per capita availability of good, potable water is diminishing in all developing countries.

MIX SCIENCE WITH SANITATION

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, of a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... the future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

sanitation is a burning issue..

With a small fraction of the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the Iraq war, the US and Australia could ensure every starving, sunken-eyed child on the planet could be well fed, have clean water and sanitation and a local school to go to properly. sanitation is a burning issue... otherwise the next generation will have 2 bare...

serious then before....

Public education is the key civil rights issue of the 21st century. Our nation's knowledge-based economy demands that we provide young people from all backgrounds and circumstances with the education and skills necessary to become knowledge workers. If we don't, we run the risk of creating an even larger gap between the middle class and the poor. This gap threatens our democracy, our society and the economic future of INDIA as far as sanitation is concerned.......

serious then before....

"Forty-two percent of the world's population, 2,6-million people, have no access to basic sanitation, a basic human need and dignity. A child dies every 15 seconds from diarrhea caused by poor sanitation and water supply. Action is required by both developing and developed world governments. Developing-country governments must take the lead and recognize the importance of sanitation for their economic and social development”
