Why We Are Formed

In 2000 the international community came together to end eight of the biggest problems plaguing the development world and pledged to do so by 2015. These goals are collectively referred to as the Millennium Development Goals. With only a few years left we are falling behind our attainment of any of them, in part because of a failure to pay attention to the lack of sanitation internationally. Sanitation plays an important role in ending poverty, creating gender equality, and keeping children in school. If we hope to sustain the progress made in attaining the Millennium Development Goals it is crucial that the international community pays more attention to the sanitation gap. Sanitation is part of the seventh Millennium Development Goal (ensure environmental sustainability). Right now nearly 40% of the world’s population are without sanitation. At the current rate of progress there will be 2.7 billion people without access to basic sanitation, thats 300,000,000 more than when we started.
