Bad water steals school days
UNICEF says 53,000 Pakistani children under five die each year from diarrhoea linked to poor water and sanitation. Repeated diarrhoea can also cause stunting and push children behind in school.
The water crisis and education crisis reinforce each other: illness removes children from classrooms, while many schools still lack reliable drinking water, toilets and handwashing facilities.
