Waterborne Diseases
Zimbabwe can't stop it alone
What is a Waterborne Disease?
A waterborne disease is a disease spread by snails insect larvae, worms and other harmful parasites found in dirty water. Waterborne diseases can shorten life expectancy, slow economic growth and development, and lower life standards. Many people in Zimbabwe don't have access to clean drinking water so they use dirty buckets to get dirty water they drink or wash themselves with. This causes the spread of waterborne diseases.
Effects of Waterborne Diseases
Life Expectancy
People with waterborne diseases often die of young age because of the poor quality of the water. They become dehydrated due to diarrhea, dehydration, or the stomach bug and because many of them don't have the access of these luxuries.
Economy
The people aren't getting better, because they don't they right living conditions with all of their needs, like clean water, so they economy in Zimbabwe cannot thrive.
Life Standards
Because there is not much clean water one who lives there cannot expect to have great life standards they are poor and you are bound to be sick from diseases at the very least once a month if you live with the common villagers.
