    • It’s a massive problem

    In 2030, the number of people without a connection to public sewage is expected to reach a staggering 5.5 billion - 1.1 billion people more than today. This is close to the current world population.

    Better water quality and sanitation not only improves the health of people. It can also help to bring people and nations out of poverty.

    It’s not rocket science
