Our Bridge To The Future
A message from Nane Annan, children´s author and wife of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan
I
believe education is the road to the future,for boys and girls alike. But what if there were no safe drinking water or sanitation facilities along that
road,threatening the very health and safety of the children who are supposed to
thrive? For millions of children,most of
them girls,the lack of clean water and safe sanitation in schools is one of the
reasons they are prevented from taking up their right to basic education.
The World
Water Forum gave us a wonderful opportunity to unite in a common cause-to
ensure that every primary school in the world has the safe water and separate
sanitation facilities that boys and girls need,together with good hygiene education.
Their lives depend on it. So does the future of our world.
