Water is something we use everyday and just expect it to be there. We simply turn on a tap. And we don't expect that if we have a drink that it might be make us poorly. Yet this is something which happens to thousands of children across the world.
You might like the idea of a day off school, but in Africa some girls never go to school. The reason? Well many them don't go because they are too busy walking miles to collect water for the family. or because the school does not have any toilets! So next time you go to the toilet at the school. Be thankful! Did You Know? * 40% of the world's population do not have a clean or safe place to go to the toilet. * Everyday 5,000 children under 5 years old die of disease caused by drinking dirty water. * A man called Thomas Crapper invented the flushing toilets at the end of 1800s. Before that people just threw their sewage down into the street- yuck! |

It's really sad that in some parts of the world, basic necessities like easy , safe drinking water , toilet in schools etc is not available and these become reasons for girls not being able to go to school in Africa. Thanks for highlighting these issues, Dharmnendra.
