Water and Education
Due to the lack of clean water, children get sick and miss school. When they miss school, it affects their instruction in the basics of human empowerment;science, mathematics, language and civics. For areas that have water, many children have to leave school early so as to walk long distances to fetch water which make them too tired to complete home work. In addiction, they have to wake up early in the morning so as to fetch enough water for house hold use when they are away all day.  Every year, almost 500million school days are lost due to the lack of safe water in school.
