"The worst thing about this, is that it hurts my neck" These are the words we constantly hear from young kids who help their mothers carry water along the way.

These young heroes volunteer to help their mothers carry water daily although it's not a job they love !

It is a physically demanding , time consuming job that they have to do everyday to bring water to their families.

The path of the water changes frequently and so the journey obstacles are not predictable !

Safe and clean water is a human right for everyone. That's why we started our mission for providing safe and clean water access for African families.
We need your help and support to help those kids have readily available clean water. This gives them the opportunity to live a normal childhood and removes the burden from their mothers.

Be positive and make a difference now. If you want to make a change send us a DM !

There's nothing quite like the feeling of working together towards a common goal. That's exactly what this group of amazing volunteers is doing - building a water source for their community.

It's hard work, but it's worth it when you see the impact it has on people's lives. 💧🙌 #wateraccess #cleanwaterforall #WalkingforWater #waterforall #ngo #communityworkshop

Facts about water 💧

Clean water is a condition for us to live. Child mortality is high in the areas where there is no access to water.

High Childhood Mortality Rates Linked to Clean Water Scarcity.

Every year, an estimated 484,000 children younger than five years of age perish from diarrhea. Many of these children come from low- and middle-income countries that don’t have access to healthy water sources.

Unsafe water that causes diarrhea has often been contaminated before being consumed by children.

More childhood deaths occur from diarrhea than the mortality rates caused by malaria, measles, and AIDS combined.

Infectious diseases linked to diarrhea include cholera and dysentery. Without safe water treatments, contaminants like feces can enter water sources.

This is precisely why we fight to ensure clean water for those who need it the most!

The hairlines have become a little higher and the wrinkles have become a little deeper. The residents of Lengasti, Tanzania have water - so have more than 60 other local communities in Africa, but the goal and the destination is still the same 🌍

Charlie will complete his journey to Tanzania. He will walk across Africa and raise awareness of the global water crisis, which still causes huge challenges such as poor hygiene and life-threatening diseases.

And yes, it took a bit more than the 2.5 years he had expected to complete the journey, but that’s just part of the adventure 🥾

Follow his journey when he continues again on May 18 - exactly eight years after he left the square in Esbjerg, Denmark with his Mule 💧

Did you know?

In the families that do not have access to clean water, it is usually women and girls who are responsible for fetching clean water. Water, which in some cases they have to walk very far to collect.

UN WATER writes:

📝 “Women and girls usually have the responsibility of fetching water. This can be a dangerous, time-consuming and physically demanding task. Long journeys by foot, often more than once a day, can leave women and girls vulnerable to attack and often precludes them from school or earning an income.”

This is precisely the reason why it is so important to ensure clean drinking water in the communities that need it most 💧
