The water vision for Europe, when will it be felt on the ground in villages in Africa?

In today,s global village, lots of ironies  prevail and Africa remains behind in the race for what has come to be referred to as "Water Democracy". The so-called small non-profits no matter their cries and attempts to reach out to their big NGO counter parts, the attention they  deserve still remains lukewarm and sometimes a cry in the wilderness. Right minded people would not stop wondering why working together on common goals like providing safe drinking water remains a  challenge and a determination  for a small non-profit like Khadarlis For Sierra Leone:

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.7 billion people still lack access to clean water. 2.3 billion people suffer from water-borne diseases each year.
While the demand for water is on the rise, the supply is said to be  shrinking and that is true about assessments made in our project areas in Jimmi as mentioned in previous postings on this blog by our erudite volunteer  Blogger, Marisa N. on June 10th, 2012.

The Water Vision for Europe for 2030 for instance aspires to be a vision for all people in Europe and around the globe. This vision is said to be formulated from a people,s perspective in a positive and proactive manner that seeks to encourage ownership by all. Putting people and values at its core, the vision departs from the premise that only if we mobilize people and stakeholders around common values, we will be able to achieve sustainability with regards to water in Europe but what about Africa, if I may ask?

Khadarlis for Sierra Leone has a huge interest in linking with organizations linked to water and sanitation in order to collaborate and network on behalf of the communities we serve in Sierra Leone. We are passionate about  subscribing to the text of the vision as was presented on the 30th of June 2009 in Brussels, prominent among those visions are that:

Water is an essential human need and access to its supply and sanitation as a basic human right could only be fully practicalized on the ground through the agencies of grass root organizations like khadarlis for Sierra Leone by means of  a programmatic approach to water related projects.

We are therefore still calling on our readers and philanthropist groups to join hands with khadarlis to achieve a meaningful water democracy where we all can apply the principles of transparency, integrity and equity on behalf of our impoverished population.
