Ahabwe Michael commented on my post titled: Water and its benefits. He had this to say:
CELEBRATE WATER: Without safe water in their homes, many women and girls become victims of physical attack and sexual violence as they walk long distances to collect water, families are hit by frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases such as cholera and dysentery because of sharing open water sources with animals, girls dropout of school, girls and women spend between 30 minutes to 90 minutes walking to look for water. We are working to ending this through providing safe water to families affected by HIV/AIDS. Women and girls are the main providers of household water supply and sanitation in Uganda, and also have the primary responsibility for maintaining a clean home environment. The lack of access to safe water and sanitation facilities therefore affects women and girls most acutely. This a situation we all need to end so that women can live healthier lives.
