Join our WASH Team!
/Water and sanitation are the core of sustainable development. However, in recent decades human activity has led to severe water stress in locales across the world. Today, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water, and more than 4.2 billion people lack safely managed sanitation (United Nations, n.d.).
The WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) competence team is one of the teams at EWB, which is working towards SDG 6 "Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all". This fall kicked off with a meet up with the WASH competence team in Gothenburg. We discussed strategy, water and sanitation solutions and mapped our competences. The discussions were very rewarding and we all felt very inspired in keeping up the good work.
The team is always interested in new perspectives and engaged people. If you are interested in joining or if you have any questions about the WASH work, you are welcome to contact Alicia Bizet, head of the WASH team at wash@ewb-swe.org.
