1. The United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs.
2. - UNICEF is a NGO that deals with many different global issues including water and sanitation.
-UNICEF works to improve children's lives through better water supplies and sanitation facilities in schools and communities and by promoting safe hygiene practices like hand washing. In emergencies they provide urgent relief to communities and nations threatened by disrupted water supplies and disease. They are funded by voluntary contributions and receive no funding from the UN budget
-UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices. They sponsor a wide range of activities and work with many partners, including families, communities, governments and like-minded organizations. In emergencies they provide urgent relief to communities and nations threatened by disrupted water supplies and disease. All UNICEF WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) programmes were designed to contribute to the Millennium Development Goal for water and sanitation. The goal - to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe water - has been achieved globally, but the same target for sanitation is so far off track that it is unlikely to be met by 2015.

UNICEF helped 17.1 million people maintain or gain access to potable water
Supplies and, 4.5 million to sanitation facilities, in a total of 72 countries in 2012. The largest interventions were in long-running complex emergencies such as in eastern DR Congo, where over 750,000 people gained
