WASH stands for WAter (nearly 1 billion people lack access to water), Sanitation (over 2.5 billion people don’t have access to adequate sanitation), and Hygiene (proper hygiene both improves water quality and prevents disease). Diseases caused by inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene remain the world’s most serious health problems, causing 80% of sickness in developing countries.
