Nonprofit Provides Hand Washing Stations on Navajo Nation to Combat Covid-19

Why? Because some reservation residents don't have running water in their homes.

In the Feb. 3, 2021 edition of Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, "Radiation illnesses and Covid-19 in the Navajo Nation," Navajo Nation residents are 67 times more likely not to have running water or indoor plumbing connected to sewer lines than others in the United States.
