THE GLOBAL VILLAGE MYSTERY Welcome to a small

THE GLOBAL VILLAGE MYSTERY Welcome to a small village where many people are sick. Your task is to figure out how this happened.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Each person in your group is allowed to learn from one villager. 2. Share the information that you learn from the villager within your group. 3. Use the information collected by your group to create a diagram showing how the people in the village are getting sick.

THE VILLAGERS

DISEASE TRANSMISSION

DID YOU KNOW? 2. 2 billion people lack access to safe, readily available water at home (that’s 58 x the population of Canada) Data source: WHO/UNICEF JMP 2019

DID YOU KNOW? 4. 2 billion people lack safely managed sanitation (that’s 124 x the population of Canada) Safely managed sanitation refers to a private improved facility where faecal wastes are effectively separate from human contact, are safely disposed on site or transported and treated off-site; plus a handwashing facility on-site. Data source: WHO/UNICEF JMP 2019

DID YOU KNOW? 297, 000 children under five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases due to poor sanitation, poor hygiene, or unsafe drinking water. Data source: WHO/UNICEF JMP 2019

THE POVERTY CYCLE

THE GLOBAL VILLAGE MYSTERY Decide whether the solution you’ve been given will stop the spread of sickness in the village.

SOLUTIONS

IN SMALL GROUPS DISCUSS: 1. Are these solutions applicable in a disaster context? 2. Are these solutions applicable to Canadian communities; why, or why not? 3. How could we get people to use them?

THANK YOU!
