Commitment to Water.org
"Water.org envisions a day when everyone in the world can take safe drink of water and it is on these grounds that I realize that water is life and every human being has a right to it in the right quantity, but this is far from being achieved. Our mothers and sisters who are the main water haulers in our families still travel long distances in search of water, spending their precious time looking for water rather than concentrating on other productive activities needed for the well-being of their families. That is why I have committed myself to work with Water.org to see to it that the burden is eased for our mothers and sisters."
