World Water Day 2019: Red Cross Official On Why So Many People Have Been Left Behind

“Whoever you are, wherever you are, you are entitled to clean water,”  That is the statement on UN-Water social media pages.  

However, 2.1 billion people live without safe water, meaning 1 in ever 3 people is affected. Sylvester Bett (Head of  Water, Sanitation and Hygiene at the Red Cross ) speaks on the reasons so many people have been left behind and what can be done to mitigate the crisis.

1. NO ONE NEEDS TO BE LEFT BEHIND, affordable technology is here, a bit of political will and honesty is all that's needed. Not Just in the Philippines. Change has come, time to move on from traditional linear engineering approach with central political control, to individual or co-operative local control. We also provide rural and Island areas with a safe drinking water supply or stop gap emergency supply.
   No pipes, No bottles needed - our AIR to WATER units can provide safe water with a grid or Solar supply anywhere anytime. 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000l/day units. Cheaper and safer than bottled water. Contact britishwaterinc@gmail.com
