Today is Earth Day.
Across the globe people should be celebrating the amazing planet we live on, and appreciating their access to clean water and land to grow a garden. However, there are those who have to walk long distances to just get water to drink and use for gardens.
Dirty water slows economic growth and increases the likelihood of food insecurity. In Africa, Many families in rural communities earn their income tending the land. The practice is generational, sacred, and a source of deep pride. But increasingly difficult.

Without sufficient water, families can’t expand their fields or herds to meet the needs of their growing families. This problem is exacerbated by an ongoing drought throughout the Horn of Africa: the worst ecological crisis it’s seen in 40 years.2 This cycle stifles families’ economic potential, keeping proper nutrition and primary education dangerously out of reach.

This Earth Day, I ask for donations for charity:Water to help bring clean water acces to communities around the world.
