Until 2050, the demand for water will double, and over a half of the world’s population will be at risk of water scarcity. Water is running out in places where so far it has been aplenty. At present, over 2 billion people worldwide have no access to clean potable water, and 100 million inhabitants of Europe are affected by the same problem, writes Agata Kasprolewicz.

Providing sanitary infrastructure to residents of remote and poverty-stricken places is a chance to save lives of thousands of children. An example of such an initiative is the project of the Navegadores Society in Senegal, co-financed by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
