This is James James lives in a small village in southern Kenya. He walks 6 hours a day to the river to get water for his family and livestock everyday. I asked him what he would do with his time if he didn’t have to walk 6 hours. He said he could do chores and do so many other things and he smiled. Can you imagine if your LIFE was walking to get water just so you could survive ? click through to help fund the tumblr: water project!  (photo by Esther Havens)

Faces Helped By Charity:Water I was just in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia with Charity:Water building wells to provide clean drinking water to the poor in remote villages. The conditions are dire and the relief provided by these wells was so immediate and gratifying to see. Kids will no longer be at risk for dysentery, and women will no longer need to walk for hours to fetch water from dirty sources miles away. This means that not only will the entire community be healthier, but everyone can now attend school. A mere $20 provides clean drinking water for one person for 20 years.  click through to help fund the tumblr: water project today! (photo by Sacca)

Meet David David posed at his water source…a murky brown stream in southern Kenya. Most of the year, water is not seen in this area. He digs and digs to find water below the river bed for his family to drink. click through to help fund the tumblr: water project! (photo by Esther Havens)

Rebecca Rebecca, who lives in Alip Village, use to drink some of the nastiest water I’ve ever seen in my life. She showed me a small brown hole about a foot wide in the ground. I reached down with a plastic bottle to get some of the water out. The smell was wretched. I almost gaged. The bottle I lifted out was full of movement — big worms, tiny worms, sticks and smelled like a toilet. The odor stayed on my hands the entire day, even after I washed them several times. I am SO THANKFUL that Rebecca has a water well in her village now. You can help so many more get clean water - 100% of your donations goes to the water project. www.charitywater.org Click through to donate to the tumblr: water project!! (photo by Esther Havens)

charity: water blog April 9th, 2010  On our way back to Bujumbura, we passed a river the color of an iced latte — and a group of kids walking to it with water cans.
