Water is a fundamental human need. Most living things—humans and ecosystems—depend on the availability of clean water.

Many who have easy access to clean water cannot fathom the mental and physical stress faced by those who do not. Have you ever tried going an entire day without clean water? Or walking over 30 minutes away from home to fetch clean water and then all the way back with a jerrycan weighing anything between 40 - 70 pounds? Now imagine doing this every day for 3 hours (or more) in a day, and then having to manage the water you retrieved with your entire family.
