it all starts with clean water

'Nearly one billion people do not have access to clean, safe water .With unclean water sources miles from villages, many african members of a community are forced to spend hours each day simply finding and transporting water. The container often used to collect water weighs over 40 pounds some even 70, equivilent to a five year old child.Can you imagine being forced to carry a five year old for over three hours each day. it was estimated by the United Nations estimates, that Sub-Saharan Africa alone loses 40 billion hours per year collecting water'
the littlest things we take for granted aren't available for everyone.
so, check out this website to find out what you can do to help.
