The campaign is to make the children to imbibe the value and habit of safe water use and hygiene.

According to Onuvae, the World Health Organization, (WHO), estimates that a significant part of the rising incidence of under-nutrition in children is caused by lack of access to safe water as well as poor sanitary conditioning.

He acknowledged that “access to safe water and sanitation are obligatory human rights issues to which billions of people across the world lack coverage.”

He hinted that experts have attributed 40 percent of cases of diarrhoea among children to the lack of access to safe water and quality sanitation.
