First of all – what a lovely picture! Thank you for sharing the story. How courageous of the children walking the distance to getting water. Certainly we need to take hands and bring waterwells closer to home. Words will be the first step in taking action. Brainstorming session? Bless al souls involved.

Well put!
Interesting fact that the water hole is traditionally the place where they meet new girlfriends/boyfriends play games and tell stories.
Often collecting water, doing washing might be the highlight of the day, though westernized lifestyles might find this hard to comprehend.

Wouldn’t it be great for someone to capture all these stories told.

I was asked if water borne diseases are not a bigger threat than crocodiles. Diseases from infected rivers and streams, are the cause of about 17% of children under five years of age.
The truth is also that there are much more lifesaving treatments available than any other major childhood killer. As with any other disease a great deal of funding is still needed for these projects to be utilized to their full potential.
