Donors shun water projects


·         Donors prefer to invest in glamorous projects like hospitals and education over the less glamorous water and sanitation
·         As a result world is unlikely to meet the MDG goal of halving the number of people without access to basic sanitation
·         This hampers developing countries growth prospects
·         More than 2 million people lack access to sanitation today 
Many girls are forced to stay out of school as most of their time is consumed in fetching water form far off places
