STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO):

FAITHS for SAFE WATER is grateful that the Biden Administration has halted withdrawal from the World Health Organization. The U.S. is an invaluable partner in global health and we stand with the global health community in gratitude.

"Wash your hands" yes, but with what?

Around the world, hundreds of thousands of healthcare facilities, and millions of healthcare workers, must face each day without adequate water, soap, toilets and hygiene. These conditions should be unimaginable. As the world contends with a terrifying pandemic, these conditions present an even more dangerous reality for staff and patients alike.

Upwards of 50% of healthcare facilities in some places are run by faith-based organizations (FBOs). Every voice is needed: Make sure the FBOs you're associated with prioritize WASH.


Let's get this foundation for safe and dignified healthcare, and disease prevention, into every healthcare facility.
