YESTERDAY I saw a television advertisement asking for funds to provide clean drinking water in Africa; it said numbers of children are dying drinking infected water because clean water is not available.
I responded to a similar advertisement about two years ago; it seems things have not improved since then. May I ask:
1. How much of our foreign aid is donated to this problem?
2. What is the United Nations organisation doing about it?
