For this month's CONNECTION:
- Listen to Zaina, a midwife at the Namoni Health Center in Uganda, share her community’s story of hope, dignity, and transformation (3 min).
While artistic license has been taken, Zaina, the Namoni Health Center, and the events in this audio reading are based on a real story of impact depicted by our Living Water Uganda colleagues.
LISTEN: Safe at Last
DID YOU KNOW?
- Around the world, last year, 907 million people had no water service at their health care facility.
- Globally, less than half of all health care facilities meet basic sanitation requirements, exposing millions of patients and healthcare workers alike to increased infection risks.
- In Uganda, it’s estimated that only 20% of people have access to basic sanitation services, while only 18% have access to safely managed drinking water—with this number dropping as low as 9.8% in rural areas.
