unicef: World Water Day, commemorated each year on 22 March, focuses attention on the importance of freshwater to sustainable development. World Water Day 2012 emphasizes the importance of water to global food security. Cameroon, 2010: A girl carries water in Maroua City in the Far North Region, where a major cholera outbreak infected thousands and killed hundreds in mid-2010. Only five per cent of people in the region have access to latrines and fewer than 30 per cent have access to safe water. UNICEF and other partners are supporting Government initiatives to prevent future cholera outbreaks, but only the provision of safe water and adequate sanitation for all will eliminate this threat. ©UNICEF/Bouvet For more information, please visit: http://www.unicef.org
