ES GIBT KEIN WASSER: Die nördliche Zone der Provinz Salta-Argentina befindet sich ebenso wie hunderte andere Orte des Landes in einem Prozess der ständigen Rodung und zwingt die Bewohner unter extremen Bedingungen, und auf sich selbst gestellt, zu leben. Die Bewegungsfreiheit innerhalb des gebirgigen Territoriums, wo sich die Wichí-Bevölkerungüber die letzten fünftausend Jahre selbst versorgen konnte, schwindet. Die Gemeinden müssen sich heute mit Wasser aus Pfützen am Straßenrand, Teichen und für Tiere vorgesehene Tränken versorgen. Diese Situation hat einen direkten Einfluss auf die Gesundheit der Gemeinden.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE WORLD'S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES 9 AUGUST There are an estimated 370 million indigenous people in the world, living across 90 countries. They make up less than 5 per cent of the world's population, but account for 15 per cent of the poorest. They speak an overwhelming majority of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages and represent 5,000 different cultures.... Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences, indigenous peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples. Indigenous peoples have sought recognition of their identities, their way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources for years, yet throughout history their rights have always been violated. Indigenous peoples today, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life. In order to raise awareness of the needs of these population groups, every 9 August commemorates the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, chosen in recognition of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations held in Geneva in 1982.

Lack of drinking water in the Indigenous communities: the cause of increase water-borne diseases such: -ophthalmic and dermatological diseases, such as scabies, trachoma, conjunctivitis, etc. -diseases transmitted by lice such as recurrent fever and typhus. -diseases of oral-faecal transmission: diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, Hepatitis A, cholera, poliomyelitis and various parasites caused by helminths.

Due that freedom of movement through their territory where Indigenous people have been drinking-water-self-sufficient for 5000 years is being denied, today the communities are destined to be supplied with water from puddles next to roads, ponds and drinking wells intended for animals. This deplorable situation directly impacts the health of the communities

Muertes de niños Wichí.. Esta situación es insostenible e inaceptable. Sin acceso al agua potable no hay manera de mejorar la salud de la población en las comunidades Wichí.
