🧠 Problem Title: Schools Lack Safe Drinking Water – Risk of Waterborne Diseases
📝 Problem Description

Many schools do not have access to purified drinking water, forcing students to consume untreated or unsafe water. This increases the risk of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, and other infections, which can seriously affect students’ health., Drinking unsafe water can lead to frequent illness, absenteeism, and reduced concentration in class, impacting learning outcomes. Younger children are especially vulnerable, as their immune systems are not fully developed., Lack of safe water also affects hygiene, as students may avoid drinking enough water or using it for handwashing, further increasing health risks. Ensuring access to purified drinking water is essential to protect student health, prevent waterborne diseases, and create a safe and healthy learning environment. Immediate installation of safe drinking water facilities in schools is necessary to safeguard students’ well-being.
