Why is clean water vital to African communities?
Clean water is the foundation for healthy community development – and a fundamental human right. Diseases run rampant in the unclean water that women walk up to ten miles a day to collect for their families; those living with HIV/AIDS are especially susceptible to the diseases bred in unclean water. Local disease outbreaks force schools to close and children, especially girls, to lose out on education, Clean water will prevent water-related diseases, allow those with HIV/AIDS to live longer, healthier lives, help alleviate the burden on women, and allow children to receive a more stable education.
