Maternal mortality is unacceptably high. About 800 women die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related complications around the world every day. In 2013, 289 000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth. Almost all of these deaths occurred in low-resource settings, and most could have been prevented. Key facts Every day, approximately 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. 99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries. Maternal mortality is higher in women living in rural areas and among poorer communities. Young adolescents face a higher risk of complications and death as a result of pregnancy than older women. Skilled care before, during and after childbirth can save the lives of women and newborn babies. Between 1990 and 2013, maternal mortality worldwide dropped by almost 50%. Improving maternal health is 1 of the 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the international community in 2000. ...

Worldwide, 780 million people do not have access to an improved water source An estimated 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation (more than 35% of the world’s population) According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, regions with the lowest coverage of "improved" sanitation in 2006 were sub-Saharan Africa (31%), Southern Asia (33%) and Eastern Asia (65%) In 2006, 7 out of 10 people without access to improved sanitation were rural inhabitants  . According to the United Nations and UNICEF, one in five girls of primary-school age are not in school, compared to one in six boys. One factor accounting for this difference is the lack of sanitation facilities for girls reaching puberty. Girls are also more likely to be responsible for collecting water for their family, making it difficult for them to attend school during school hours   The installation of toilets and latrines may enable school children, especially menstruating girl...

In Africa, half of young girls who drop out of school do so because they need to collect water – often from many miles away – or because the school hasn’t got separate toilets for boys and girls. Not having a loo puts people at risk of being bitten by snakes as they squat in the grass and makes women and girls a target for sexual assault as they go to the toilet in the open. In 2000, 189 countries from across the world signed up to the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. The plan was that we’d all work together to end extreme poverty by 2015. But little action means some targets will be missed by DECADES. If we carry on like this, it’s predicted we won’t hit the sanitation target in sub-Saharan Africa until the 23rd century.  Lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation traps people in poverty. Their health suffers and the prospect of developing economically remains far out of reach. Here are some of the hard facts: 2.5 billion people across the world ...

Water is the greatest gift of nature. Humans have exploited this natural resource to a level where controlling water pollution is impossible. Here are some important reasons why water is considered as a precious natural resource. The misuse of this can cause damaging consequences and a threat to human life. Here is an interesting way to analyze how water pollution is gradually causing so many deaths worldwide. According to Wikipedia, “ Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations, but also to the natural biological communities. ” The use of hazardous chemicals in manufacturing indust...

Diesel fuel is widely used throughout our society. It powers the trucks that deliver products to our communities, the buses that carry us to school and work, the agricultural equipment that plants and harvests our food, and the backup generators that can provide electricity during emergencies. It is also used for many other applications. Diesel engines have historically been more versatile and cheaper to run than gasoline engines or other sources of power. Unfortunately, the exhaust from these engines contains substances that can pose a risk to human health. Recently in Ghana the capital city Accra, 4 people, have died from these toxic substance, due to the power crisis in the country. Residence in the country are forced to put on generators, since most of the areas in the country lack planing smoke from these generators go into other people rooms ...

Today in history: March 10, 1913 - Harriet Tubman dies. Harriet Tubman was an African-American leader in the abolitionist movement. Born into slavery, she escaped and then dedicated herself to liberating as many people from slavery as possible. Before the Civil War she made more than thirteen missions to rescue people from slavery using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.    She helped John Brown recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry. When the Civil War began, Tubman worked for the Union Army, first as a cook and nurse, and then as an armed scout and spy. She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, guiding the Combahee River Raid, which liberated more than 700 slaves in South Carolina. In the post-war era she also struggled for women's suffrage.{Freedom Road to Socialism} BY    Tsietsi Emancipator Letsebe
