MNK Dormitory: A Holistic Approach
World Health Organization 2008
Approximately 1.5 million people die every year from water-borne illness.
“Every day more children die from dirty water than HIV/AIDS, malaria, war and accidents all put together…Water is the most important environmental and human-rights issue of them all. [The worst effects of climate change will be felt decades from now.] The world is running out of fresh water today.”
- Maude Barlow National Chair
