| 1 | To The General Assembly, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Concerned for the health of Nicaraguans and sanitary practices in the country, |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Alarmed by the deteriorating sanitary practices and lack of filtered water, |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Noting with distress that only 50% of the population has access to working sanitation facilities, |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Encouraged by the Central Intelligence Agency World Factbook and the WaterAid America |
| 10 | Organization, |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Understanding that the current Nicaraguan sanitation system has a decentralized model, |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Finding that half of all Nicaraguans have no access to clean water, |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Adding that the country is labeled as being highly susceptible to infectious diseases caused by |
| 17 | unfiltered water, |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Considering that the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that all people |
| 20 | have a right to safe and accessible water, |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Finalizing that the establishment of water filtration systems in 50% of households will decrease the |
| 23 | amount of Nicaraguans infected by diseases, |
| 24 | |
| 25 | General Assembly hereby: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Fund a program to facilitate the expansion of Nicaraguan household filtration systems across the |
| 28 | country; |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Delegates an amount of 202,000,000 USD for this purpose. |
