Sierra Leone is in the midst of a water crisis. Throughout Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, you will find many who are still drinking water from unclean and polluted rivers. Listen to this Sierra Leonean woman tell her story of water crisis. She says, “Long ago our river was clean. Today it is dirty and full of sickness—malaria, cholera, and fever. My little Susan almost died from diarrhea. Our family was all affected by the dirty water. But we needed it; we all need water. We knew there was a problem. We saw the problem. But we are a poor village and could do nothing to change it. I was sad and afraid of losing a child. Then, last year, we received a miracle. It was a well! We were given the supplies and also the guidance, but the men of my village built it. They built it for our family—for all the families!”
Now this Sierra Leonean village has clean, healthy water from a well they were able to build. But many more are still in need of clean water. One in eight people worldwide don’t have access to clean water. Share and comment ways you have been giving back in your own community or around the world using the hashtag #giveback.
