Primarily because Burkina Faso has one of the world’s lowest indexes for human development. When you know that half of its population lives in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1.25 per day, it seems like an obvious choice. In the Cascades and Hauts-Bassins region, less than 56% of the population has access to safe water. Many different factors, including informal mining and extensive sugar cane culture, jeopardize local access to water.
