Piped clean drinking water in Angola improves children's health

In the Matala municipality in Angola, a UNICEF supported project is providing ready access to clean drinking water to nearly 2,000 homes through taps installed at homes and in communities. Only 50% of Angolans have access to improved drinking water sources. With improved access to water the rates of diarrhea and cholera have fallen to next to nothing in Matala, compared to when the cleanest water source was a river 3 miles away. Because the safe water was so far away, people would take unsafe water from nearby streams resulting in illnesses.
