Life Without Clean Water Is Unimaginable

“When I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was drink water because I was very thirsty. But as I gulped it down, I thought of the hundreds of schoolchildren elsewhere who don’t have access to clean drinking water.

Every activity in my morning routine depends on water, from brushing my teeth and bathing to washing my hands and having breakfast. I can’t imagine life without it!”

These are the heartfelt words of 15-year-old Benedicta Bafflo, a student at Pediatorkorpe Basic School, who reminds us just how vital water is from home to classroom.

Benedicta also shares the story of her best friend, Priscilla:
“She only gets access to clean water when she comes to school. On weekends, she has no choice but to drink from the Volta River, which is extremely contaminated. How can they wash their hands, uniforms, bathe properly, or even respond to nature’s call safely?”

This is the reality for many children living in island communities where #EasyWater has not yet reached. But with your support, we can change that story.
