CAFOD says:
No child should face danger getting fresh water to drink
Fabiano lives with his mum and siblings in Uganda
and dreams of becoming a doctor. But when you live in a desperately dry
village, schoolwork comes second to fetching water.
At 4am, most of us are asleep. But Fabiano, 14, walks miles to the nearest pump. He arrives home tired and dusty, washes, and goes to school. Many of his classmates don’t make it. They’re still queuing for water when the school bell rings.
Thanks to your generosity, CAFOD’s local experts were able to install a solar powered pump in Fabiano’s village and now it takes him less than four minutes to fetch water.
Across the world, millions of children walk for water every day, risking their safety and education. Imagine if it was your child or grandchild making that long, dark walk- just for clean water to drink. Please support us as we help more people like Fabiano who need our care and support.
