Daughter of the Desert-Barakatu
Water should not be a privilege. It is a human right.
This is the story of Barakatu and how access to clean water is changing her life in the quiet corner of the Sahara.
Barakatu is 18 and lives with her parents in the village of Tanka in Niger. Due to the family’s socio-economic situation, Barakatu had to leave education after finishing her primary school.
Global Water Crisis and Muntada Aid
The United Nations recognises access to clean water and sanitation as a fundamental human right. When this basic right is denied, it has a devastating impact on people and communities. The lack of safe access to clean water directly affects the health, economy, dignity and security of people.
Delivery of this fundamental human right is the duty of the state. Still, in many countries, due to poor state infrastructure, lack of resources, overpopulation, scarce water resources, corruption and war, the national institutions cannot provide clean water to communities. During our work in Asia and Africa over the years, we found that the girl child and the women are at forefront for management of household water supply, sanitation, and health.
Facts:
More people die from lack of clean drinking water than from all forms of violence combined... including war! (United Nations) At present, 2.1 billion people have inadequate access to sanitation... with nearly a billion people practicing open defecation.
About 740 million people have no access to safe drinking water at all.
Illness & Disease
Fully half of the hospital beds worldwide are occupied by someone suffering from a water-related illness.
Diarrhea is the leading cause of death for children under 5 worldwide and is entirely preventable. 80% of all diseases are waterborne. (World Health Organization)
One of Muntada Aid’s core values is providing dignity to people we support. Keeping that in mind, we aim to provide clean water solutions to people within their communities and ease off their burden of daily searching for freshwater resources.

Water For Gaza
Water resources have long been critically scarce in the Gaza Strip, and the situation is getting beyond dire. Ninety-five per cent of the water extracted from the coastal aquifer is now considered unfit for human consumption.
Muntada Aid is setting up desalination plants to help ease off Gaza's water crisis.
We are aiming to provide safe drinking water to communities in Gaza.
