        I want to share my experiences with programe serving the clean water and it’s sanitation in this journal with all of you. Let me first give some fundamental information so you may better comprehend my experience.

        SDG 6 is focused on providing access to clean water and sanitation. It strives to achieve quality and sustainability of water resources globally as well as the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. It aims to assist billions of people throughout the world live better lives by working in tandem with the other SDGs.

 

 

    Specifically, pour-flush latrines, ventilated improved pit latrines, and pit latrines with a slab or covered pit were emphasised as hygienic isolation of human excreta from human contact. Wastewater treatment and disposal were not taken into account. As a result, the statistics on sanitation were unable to convey the complexity and scope of the connected social, economic, and environmental issues.

 

The World Bank estimates that 68% of people worldwide have access to basic sanitation. However, just 39% of this world's population has access to properly managed sanitation, which involves waste collection, treatment, and end use and/or disposal that is all done safely . Septic tanks that are inadequately designed and maintained have contaminated surface and groundwater, which has had major negative effects on people's health.

 

 

 So let's go to the most awaited part, in 2021, Selangor will experience a huge crisis of lack of clean water, as a concerned resident of Selangor, I will attend as a volunteer in the distribution of clean water in every village that has a problem of lack of water that must be used in their daily lives.On the first day, I was given a briefing on how to distribute water according to the rules to the villagers because at that time covid was hitting the country. we went to do a census in every villager involved and took some information from them. the information to the head of the Selangor water department to process the required amount of clean water. We announced the place where they needed to attend by bringing as many containers as they could to fill the clean water there. We used a tanker truck to supply the water to the villagers. After all the villagers got their clean water, we closed the progrrame and dispersed.

As a conclusion, Allah has said to be moderate in our life, either when consuming something or producing something. We as a muslim must take action in the way of Allah's pleasure. I too, must reflect on myself for the past deeds that I have done which runs away from the will of Allah. By helping people in need, we will definitely get rewards in the future.
