Having access to clean water and proper sewage systems can prevent the spread of waterborne diseases that can lead to illnesses and death, making it the most critical need for the village population's health. Medical supplies are necessary, but they do not address the root cause of health issues. While having access to nutritious foods is important, it would not be as impactful as having a reliable source of clean water. Taking samples of water and local foods is necessary but does not solve the immediate need for clean water and sanitation.
