INTERNATIONAL PROJECT 2016-2017: Water for mali

The International Project is a year-long district-wide fundraising project focused on tackling major global cause areas. This year, Interact is partnering up with Water for Mali in order to provide clean and sustainable water for the communities in Mali.


WHATS THE PROBLEM?
Out of many global issues, one prominent concern is the lack of sanitary water. This year, by adopting the Water for Mali program Interact club will  provide relief for communities in Mali that do not have access to clean drinking water and sanitation.

Today, nearly 800 billion people lack access to safe water and 2.5 billion don’t even have access to basic sanitation facilities. Without clean water or proper hygiene, world health is drastically affected, along with education and poverty.
Water borne diseases cause 50% of the world’s hospital beds to be filled, and the hours that children spend hauling water every day are taken away from their education.



HOW CAN WE HELP?
By partnering with the Mali Program, Interact is making a lasting impact by improving the water infrastructure in Sikasso and Bamako. Wells, water standpipes, water filters, and more will be constructed in Mali where they are greatly needed. This effort will be supported by training communities in management skills for public water points and public latrines.
