The problem

Many families in Indonesia, including those in the Jakarta area, are in dire need of clean water and proper sanitation to maintain their health and well-being. Clean water is not a luxury, but a basic human need that must be met to ensure a healthy and productive life. However, the reality is that many families in Jakarta still struggle to gain access to clean water and adequate sanitation facilities.

According to UNICEF data, nearly 27 million people in Indonesia do not have access to clean water. This situation is exacerbated by reports that 20% of the urban population still uses inadequate sanitation systems.

This problem not only affects health, but also the economy. The inability to access clean water can lead to diseases that reduce productivity and increase household spending on health costs. According to the WHO, every $1 invested in water sanitation can generate health and economic benefits of between $5 and $28.

The solution is to increase investment in water and sanitation infrastructure and ensure local government policies that support universal access for all citizens. Ensuring community involvement in decision-making is also important so that all policies are relevant and effective for them.

Your support is needed to encourage the Jakarta city government to take concrete action to improve water quality and sanitation. Sign the petition.
