Water in Africa
Many of us take clean water for granted. We turn on the tap, water comes out and we know it's safe to drink. This is not the case for many African children.
- Many African countries are very poor and very dry, so they get massive droughts.
- Often children have to walk miles every morning to get water from wells in other villages.
- Drinking water isn't always clean, so lots of children have terrible diarrhea and nasty infections from drinking it.
- Ethiopia is worst-hit, where only a quarter of the popular has access to clean, safe water.
- In Tanzania, children spend an average of two hours a day collecting water, although some spend up to seven hours a day in really remote parts.
