From my blog:
Water scarcity goes beyond the bounds of the rivers and lakes that are running dry. It goes to the heart of how many women in our world live every day, and the dangerous labor involved in collecting it. This is the story of how one woman seeks to bring safe water to those who literally risk their lives hours a day collecting water from sources that are far away, scarce, and in many instances polluted. Would you travel up to six hours a day over rocky treacherous terrain simply to collect a jug full of polluted water that would be all you and your family would have for the day while risking your very life? Many women do it every day in their quest to collect something precious to them that we take for granted. This then is a story of hope.
