DIRTY DRINKING WATER

   Clean drinkable water is somewhat hard to find Africa. In fact, according to many sources more than half of the country's population doesn't have access to something that many of us take for granted. Clean water seems like a non-existing problem to someone who lives in a country where they make water filters and get clean water off their refrigerators, but for many in Africa, this is not the case. 

    Even though this video has more images then pictures, it does put out that for these people, life is not so easy. Dirty water can lead to many diseases as shown in the beginning of this video. For example, in rural Ethiopia, 80% of illness are due to dirty water. 250,000 children die from diarrhea every year because of this dirty water. Considering the fact that health care is practically non-existing, many of these dieng people can't do anything about their health problems.
