It is easy to take safe drinking water for granted. While we hardly have to go further than the next tap in a kitchen, more than 2 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water. According to the UN, 500 million of them live in Africa.

Imagine waking up every morning knowing that your first task is to walk six kilometres and carry 20 kilos of water back home. Girls and women usually bear the burden of providing water for their entire family. This responsibility leaves them exhausted and makes it very difficult for the girls to concentrate in the classroom.
