“WATER IS LIFE”

PROJECT

AF mission: Improving access to clean waterWater in the Horn of Africa is a luxury very few people can afford. So people send women and children to collect water from as far as 20 kilometers away,

sometimes in a very unsafe environment to get water. (IRIN)

Facts

79% of the residents of the Horn of Africa lack access to clean water

Nearly 1 out of every 5 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related

disease. WHO/UNICEF. "Diarrhoea: Why children are still dying and what can be

done." 2009. available at http://www.unicef.org/health/index_51412.html.

In developing countries, as much as 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water and

sanitation conditions (United Nations. Statement by Secretary General Koffi Annan.

June 2003. http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2003/sgsm8707.doc.htm )

Women and girls are responsible for water collection in seven out of ten households

in 45 developing countries (WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water

Supply and Sanitation "2015 Report and MDG Assessment" Available

from: http://www.wssinfo.org/

Facts

The average container for water collection in Africa, the jerry can, weighs over 40 lbs when

full.

The average American uses 2,000 gallons of water everyday, the average African uses 5

gallons of water each day. http://savethewater.org/education-resources/water-facts/

An average African woman may need to walk 10 miles to get to a water source, an average

urban American may need to walk only a few feet to get to a water source.

This definitely brought tears to my eyes. I am very happy

to have been part of this project and hope that in the

future any types of donations that are needed I can be a part of. I would

definitely like to see pictures of what was done. This was a really great way for me to

be informed.
