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.
