Water and Sanitation

“Pure Water is the World's First and Foremost Medicine..” – Slovakian Proverb.

EviQuest supports governments, development partners, and private sector clients to achieve their goals and maximise their impact in the water and sanitation sector. Since inception, we have been dedicated to helping our clients deliver clean water and improved quality of life in developing economies. Throughout our years of operation, our clients, have successfully contracted our services to carry out projects in water resource management, water supply, sanitation, irrigation and drainage and systems management.

Water is one of the most basic of all needs – we cannot live for more than a few days without it. And yet, most people take water for granted. We waste water needlessly and don’t realize that clean water is a very limited resource. More than 1 billion people around the world have no access to safe, clean drinking water, and over 2.5 billion do not have adequate sanitation service. Over 2 million people die each year because of unsafe water – and most of them are children!

SANITATION

Wash or scrub fruits and vegetables under running water—even if you do not plan to eat the peel. Germs on the peeling or skin can get inside fruits and vegetables when you cut them. … Cut away any damaged or bruised areas before preparing or eating. Dry fruit or vegetables with a clean paper towel.
