They bring home the water and even though they cook it, they still contracted diseases. They have no choice but to keep going back to the same river because that is their only source of water.”
“There was also no safety assurance for the girls every time they went to get water, as they leave early in the morning and only return in the afternoon. They could be attacked by wild animals or even raped along the journey. With clean water available in their village, we can help to prevent all that,” he said.RYTHM Foundation is proud to be part of this sustainable project which provides clean and safe water to the rural communities in Tanzania.
