Shallow well in the bush of Zambia

This video was from Kathy Hardtke's first trip to Zambia 2007.  This trip broke her heart watching the villagers work so hard to gain access to the little water available to them.

You will see here, Nina trying to gain access to enough water to rinse the shampoo out of her hair.  As you can imagine watching this process as well as seeing the little water available, washing is not on the top of the local villagers list of use for their water. 

They build these shallow wells and have to wait daily for the water to seep in.  They can not dig deeper wells because the sand falls into the well.  More times than not the local women have to carry a jug up to 4 hours to fill with water from small ponds and carry the full container back to the village.  Just picture your child sick and dehydrated and in great need of water...this is why the life expectancy is so low.

What we in America take for granted means life or death and health for these amazing people.  Help GROW get the word out and support our mission to provide clean drinking water to those with little or none.  You can make a difference in many ways:
