Intro: Despite the fact that access to water, sanitation, and hygiene is a human right, billions of people still do not have it. Every year, millions of people die as a result of diseases brought about by a lack of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. Clean, fresh, and safe water often aid in the removal of contaminants from the body, whether they are generated by bodily reactions, obtained from external sources, or those that arise as a result of consuming polluted water.

Prompt: You are a 12-year-old girl living in Africa's Sub-Saharan region who has dropped out of school to help her family fetch water from a pond 3 miles from your home. Develop a 2-3 minute skit in groups of three that depicts the difficulties you face in obtaining water and how critical it is to your survival.

Takeaways:

• To understand that water is a basic human right

• To recognize the obstacles that prevent people from having access to safe drinking water and sanitation
