Imagine that you don’t have access to water at home. Every day, you have to spend hours travelling to collect water from a far-off river and, when you get there, the water isn’t even clean. Particularly for children, this means valuable time is lost where they are unable to make the most of being a child.
Aysha from Ethiopia is one such child who has to undertake this task. This is a day in her life…
Aysha’s story is not an isolated case. Climate change, extreme weather and increasing urbanisation mean that families in the poorest regions of the world are increasingly suffering from water shortages and lacking access to good hygiene facilities.
A single company on its own is not able to make much of a difference. Therefore, GARDENA is supporting a strong partner that has the necessary experience and structures in the area of water and hygiene to provide sustainable assistance and act in the event of acute crises.
On World Water Day, 22 March 2018, GARDENA launched a long-term partnership with UNICEF under the slogan “Every drop counts” and has since contributed to UNICEF’s worldwide WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) programmes.
Together, we could help provide 330,000 children and families with access to clean drinking water by 2026.
Gardena’s funding will help provide safe water, access to basic sanitation and good hygiene practices, and other needed activities to ensure that all children can survive and thrive.
UNICEF ir vadošā loma ūdens, sanitārijas un higiēnas pakalpojumu sniegšanā ārkārtas situācijās: ANO aģentūra jau daudzus gadus strādā, lai uzlabotu ūdens piegādi, sanitāriju un higiēnas pamatpraksi visā pasaulē, jo īpaši nelabvēlīgā situācijā esošām ģimenēm pasaules nabadzīgākajās valstīs.
UNICEF, piemēram, nodrošina ūdeni ciematu kopienām Āfrikas valstīs, piemēram, Nigērā vai Dienvidsudānā, aprīko skolas ar ūdens sistēmām un sanitārijas iekārtām, ierīko ar saules enerģiju darbināmas ūdens sistēmas bēgļu nometnēs un izstrādā inovatīvas tehnoloģijas, lai labāk kartētu ūdens avotus.
Turklāt UNICEF ir uzsācis plašas izglītojošas kampaņas, lai mācītu ģimenēm un kopienām par svarīgiem higiēnas noteikumiem, lai viņi varētu labāk pasargāt sevi no slimībām. Tas ir īpaši svarīgi Covid-19 pandēmijas laikā.
Worldwide, professional and around the clock: UNICEF has been supporting children for more than 75 years in almost every country on Earth. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund was established in 1946 to help children in Europe following the devastation to the continent that resulted from the Second World War. Today, UNICEF is committed to ensuring that every child can grow up healthy and safely as well as go to school — regardless of religion, skin colour or racial origin.
