Access to clean and safe drinking water is a basic human right. However, in many villages around the world, including ours, people still drink water from unsafe sources such as rivers, ponds, open wells, or unprotected springs. This practice poses a serious threat to our health and wellbeing.
Clean water saves lives. It keeps our children healthy, helps our elders stay strong, and reduces our need to spend money on doctors and medicine. Let us work together to protect our water sources, improve hygiene, and demand access to safe drinking water for all.
