Water
Clean water is nearly impossible to get
Water is given out into 5 gallon bucketsweighing 45 lbs when full
Many walk many blocks to bring water totheir homes, waiting in the hot sun to getthe water from the water truck
The 5 gallons of water may be all theyhave for their household use
Can you imagine a day without water?
