What This WASH Figure Means
This game uses deaths attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation, and lack of hygiene.
- It is not just about pipes. The figure is trying to capture lethal failure across water, toilets, and hygiene.
- A place can improve access on paper while still leaving contamination or intermittent supply untouched.
- Basic infrastructure gets remembered fastest when it is missing.
Safe water is never just a household issue once the mortality rate shows up.
