Access to safe drinking water is an essential right and an urgent need in many regions of the world. As part of the Agua Solidaria programme, BUSF works to guarantee safe water consumption in vulnerable communities, improving their quality of life and strengthening their resilience in the event of emergencies.
In many rural communities in developing countries, a lack of access to a safe water supply is a chronic problem that severely affects the health and well-being of local residents. Reliance on contaminated water sources increases mortality and disease rates, especially amongst children, pregnant women and the elderly. This problem is exacerbated by the lack of adequate sanitation and waste management systems, creating an unhealthy environment that is unsuitable for human development.
In emergency contexts, such as natural disasters, the situation is even more critical as traditional water sources are compromised, making it difficult for affected communities to survive and recover. This health and social challenge severely limits development opportunities, perpetuating cycles of poverty and vulnerability.
