Introduction
Water shortage is a problem of water shortage, one of the haunting problems of many countries in the world, especially since water is the lifeblood, the basis of greenery and the spread of goodness and plantations, and it is an essential pillar in the wheel of development and progress.
Subject
Even though water constitutes about three quarters of the globe, the lack of water is a real problem that needs to find many solutions, as this water is mostly saline not suitable for drinking, because the real problem lies in the lack of fresh water, and this is due to many reasons, the most important of which Too much waste, not saving water, and high temperatures that cause large quantities of evaporation.
There’s nothing more essential to life on Earth than water. Yet, from Cape Town to Flint, Michigan, and from rural, sub-Saharan Africa to Asia’s teeming megacities, there’s a global water crisis. People are struggling to access the quantity and quality of water they need for drinking, cooking, bathing, handwashing, and growing their food.
The United Nations recognizes the importance of addressing the global water crisis each year on World Water Day, March 22.
Globally, 844 million people lack access to clean water. Without clean, easily accessible water, families and communities are locked in poverty for generations. Children drop out of school and parents struggle to make a living.
Women and children are worst affected — children because they are more vulnerable to diseases of dirty water and women and girls because they often bear the burden of carrying water for their families for an estimated 200 million hours each day. Read the story of Ireen, an 8-year-old in Malawi who walks for water daily.
Access to clean water changes everything; it’s a stepping-stone to development. When people gain access to clean water, they are better able to practice good hygiene and sanitation. Children enjoy good health and are more likely to attend school. Parents put aside their worries about water-related diseases and lack of access to clean water. Instead, they can water crops and livestock and diversify their incomes. Communities no longer vie for rights to a waterhole.
Fast facts: Global water crisis
844 million people lack basic drinking water access, more than 1 of every 10 people on the planet.
Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours hauling water every day.
The average woman in rural Africa walks 6 kilometers every day to haul 40 pounds of water.
Every day, more than 800 children under age 5 die from diarrhea attributed to poor water and sanitation.
By 2050, at least 1 in 4 people will likely live in a country affected by chronic yor recurring fresh-water shortages.
2.3 billion people live without access to basic sanitation.
892 million people practice open defecation.
One of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goalsaims to provide universal access to clean water and sanitation by 2030.
90% of all natural disasters are water-related.
BACK TO QUESTIONS
What are the benefits of water, sanitation, and hygiene for children and families?
An investment in clean water, combined with basic sanitation and hygiene education, is one of the most effective ways to improve lives and fight extreme poverty. The benefits include:
Families become healthier: Water, sanitation, and hygiene programs work together to powerfully prevent the spread of most illnesses, and are one of the most effective ways to reduce child deaths.
Children are better nourished: Safe water, sanitation, and hygiene help kids grow taller, smarter, and stronger. They get more nutrition from the food they eat because they are not sick. Families are able to use water to irrigate gardens for more nutritious food year-round.
Children can attend and excel in school: When children don’t have to walk long distances to get water, they have more time to attend school and more energy to learn. This is especially important for girls, who most often collect water for the family.
Family income improves: Families spend less money on healthcare and are better able pay for things like school supplies and fees. Water also is used for income-generating activities like making soap, bricks, and Shea butter, as well as watering livestock and gardens.
BACK TO QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to bring clean water to one person?
Our average cost for World Vision to bring clean water to one person in Africa is $50. But this price actually includes much more than just clean water. It also includes the costs involved to ensure that a well or water point is maintained so it will last for generations. Also, by leveraging other resources, such as child sponsorship and local funds, each person who benefits from clean water is also trained and equipped to practice safe sanitation and hygiene.
For every $1 invested in clean water, the health benefits amount to $4.30.

World Vision’s water work
World Vision is the leading nongovernmental provider of clean drinking water in the developing world. We focus on bringing water to the extremely poor — including those with disabilities — in rural areas with the greatest disease burden. More than 700 World Vision water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) professionals and thousands of development professionals live and work in communities worldwide to co-create solutions that last.
World Vision’s work results in water that continues to flow. We invest an average of 15 years in a community, cultivating local ownership and training locals to manage and maintain water points. An independent study by The Water Institute at the University of North Carolina, one of the premier academic groups in water research, examined 1,470 water sources in 520 communities located in the Greater A farm Plains region of Ghana. The report of their research, published in 2015, showed that nearly 80% of wells drilled by World Vision continued to function at high levels even after 20 years, thanks largely to our community engagement model.
World Vision believes we can solve the global water crisis within our lifetimes. Our efforts include:
Drilling, developing, and repairing wells and other vital water points
Teaching local community members how to keep water flowing
Overseeing the building of latrines and hand-washing facilities
Promoting healthy hygiene practices through education and behavior change programming.

Conclusion
Since it is also important for a person to conserve water by not contaminating it with his personal or factory wastes, it is even more important to recycle or dispose of these wastes in ways other than dumping them into the waters of rivers and seas, just as it is important to recycle water, whether it is in At home or at the country level and reusing this water for other than drinking operations, watering crops that greatly benefit from this water; Because it contains natural fertilizers that help it to grow as well

Introduction
What Is an NGO?
A non-governmental organization is a non-profit, citizen-based group that functions independently of government., sometimes called civil societies, are organized on community, national and international levels
Subejct

NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, play a major role in international development, aid, and philanthropy.
NGOs are non-profit by definition, but may run budgets of millions or up to billions of dollars each year.
As such, NGOs rely on a variety of funding sources from private donations and membership dues to government contribution.
There are several distinct types of NGO, each with its own mandate.
About NGOs
While the term "NGO" has various interpretations, it is generally accepted to include private organizations that operate without government control and that are non-profit and non-criminal. Other definitions further clarify NGOs as associations that are non-religious and non-military.
Some NGOs rely primarily on volunteers, while others support a paid staff.
Two broad groups of NGOs are
Operational NGOs, which focus on development projects.
Advocacy NGOs, which are organized to promote particular causes.
Certain NGOs may fall under both categories simultaneously.
Examples of NGOs include those that support human rights, advocate for improved health or encourage political participation.
grants
Despite their independence from government, some NGOs rely significantly on government funding. Large NGOs may have budgets in the millions or billions of dollars.
(For related reading, see "How do NGOs get funding?")
Types of NGOs
A number of NGO variations exist, including:
BINGO: business-friendly international NGO (example: Red Cross)
ENGO: environmental NGO (Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund)
GONGO: government-organized non-governmental organization (International Union for Conservation of Nature)
INGO: international NGO (Oxfam)
QUANGO: quasi-autonomousNGO (International Organization for Standardization [ISO])

Some NGOs may not know that the idea of NGOs began from the time of caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab, where the Islamic Endowment was established, the idea of the waqf was based on securing funds from the able and making a fund for current handouts to benefit Muslims and non-Muslims as well, but over time the West turned to this idea and transferred it to their country in the 19th century when the Ottoman empire existed, and after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire the role of endowments became important by Arabs and Muslims to replace it with the concept of Non-governmental associations and organizations. The benefits of non-governmental organizations are not profitable. Independence. Achieving the public interest. It is founded by individuals interested in general humanitarian issues. The role of NGOs, although NGOs are not subject to a particular government, there are international NGOs that can have an intervention in international issues, such as so-called international solidarity organizations, where they are characterized by ethical policies and Humanity, so as to try to influence some states to act within ethical controls, and highlight the role of such organizations in situations of war on a particular country, and yet the role of NGOs in this area remains ineffective. as required by the policies of some great states that may not care about the demands of such organizations. The role of globalization in the creation of NGOs has facilitated the establishment of associations and NGOs, as their number exceeds 2,000 associations and organizations, and it is worth mentioning that most of these organizations have branches in most countries of the world linked to each other The goal it seeks, and this organization always has a headquarters in a state, and the policies of some countries may impose restrictions on these organizations in terms of licensing and the like, because NGOs often oppose state policies, which does not Many countries accept it and try to limit its activities, but the presence of branches of the same organization in other countries may achieve the goal of establishing the organization, where the organization can be specific to the provision of services such as medical services, or its charitable objective by providing some basic purposes for the needy, or it may be an organization aimed at involving some members of society such as organizations with special needs, and many other examplesNGOs, Genesis and Role
The spirit of cooperation and assistance, found since the existence of humanity, human beings are social by nature, and social work has been throughout history in various forms, individually or collectively, but the role of NGOs is taking shape with the emergence of the role of governments and the identification of their tasks, i.e. in the European industrial environment during the nineteenth century, and the outbreak of wars and the scourges and tragedies they have generated, all encouraged the establishment of voluntary associations and the role of governments not played by governments.Many voluntary non-governmental organizations established in Europe and America, during the First and Second World Wars, then directed their activities towards third world countries (either at the behest of their own countries or independently of them) since most of these countries were colonized by the industrialized countries before gaining their independence.Government organizations are divided into national governmental organizations, which are established by the state, managed and supported for specific tasks, and intergovernmental organizations, established by states with an international agreement among themselves, whose members are states with international legal personality and participate in the development of the rules of international law, which are either universal and general as the United Nations, or global specialists such as the World Health Organization, Agriculture, Food, ANISCo and others.In 1943, NGOs in the United States of America established a consortium called the American Council of Civil Institutions for Relief, which in the early years after World War II was very active in providing assistance to European peoples (the distribution of medicines, food, clothing,...The growing role of NGOs, their increased activity and presence globally has made them recognized by the United Nations as a fundamental and effective partner in determining the destiny and future of humanity and in the defence and protection of human rights, which have become the third power in the world after governments and political parties.The Oxford Famine Committee was established in the United Kingdom in 1942 to help the Greek people who suffered from famine during nazi occupation, and later became one of britain's most important associations, Oxfam.This initiative was the result of the spread of liberalism and its ideas, and the establishment of these associations has been accompanied by the work of Catholic and Protestant missions, particularly in Africa and Asia in the fields of health and education, and institutions of a religious nature continue to occupy an important position.
conclusion
If you want to create an NGO, you are taking the right step in the right direction. Registering an NGO would give multiple benefits to growth and sustainability for anything you do. It is recommended that you obtain advice from a CAC accredited lawyer on pre-
