hr.A Ray of Hope: Providing African Children Access to Clean Water.hr

As the light illuminated the African settlement, I was in amazement. A freshly constructed well brought delight to children who had struggled for clean water. Their bright grins showed a renewed optimism.


These youngsters could now obtain the life-giving elixir without traveling far or carrying heavy water jugs. Their innocence shone through as they splashed and played, laughing. Clean water liberated people from thirst and laid the groundwork for a better future.

Poor African children keeping their hands up – asking for drinking water.

Village de Guede Codji, Benin, March 09, 2015: Grandmother, mother, father and small child at a well. The man is pumping water, while his family is washing their hands and haveing a refreshiment. This well provides clean water for the whole village.

Clean water eased their thirst and revived their spirits, inspiring hopes. It reminded us that even the smallest resources may impact these tough people’ lives forever.

Their grins inspired me to work for a world where every kid has safe water.
