Clean Water

We live our daily lives with all the water we need. We are not in need of water, so we do not care if we waste water at all. At this moment, somewhere in the world, people are in need of fresh water to hygiene, drink, etc. But they do not have clean water to do so. They can only find contaminated water which contains many bacteria which could be deleterious to their body. 

This problem is present especially in Africa. Many countries like South Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia, etc. do not have access to fresh water. Women and children have to go to rivers to get water, but the water quality is terrible. The trip usually takes 2 hours to get to the river, and 2 hours to get back. That's 4 hours wasted just to walk. Besides, it is not safe because of predators and criminals on the road. They put their lives in danger to save their lives.

The children do not go to school, but they have to go get water for their families. They do not have the rights to have an education. We can change the world though. Many solutions are given by the government to improve the population's life. Wells are being created, pumpers are implanted into underground rivers. Charity foundations are always raising funds to help fight against diseases caused by dirty water, as well as creating new fresh water sources for cities and villages. We can also contribute. We can start by being aware of conserving clean water. Close any tap when we are brushing our teeth, take enough water that we need for any activities, do not overuse water and waste it. Funding charity foundations would also boost the amount of lives that we could save.

Help make the world a better place! Save water!
