When students are freed from gathering water, they return to class. With proper and safe latrines, girls stay in school through their teenage years.

Health
Safe water, clean hands, healthy bodies. Time lost to sickness is reduced and people can get back to the work of lifting themselves out of poverty.

Hunger
Access to water leads to food security. With less crop loss, hunger is reduced. Schools can feed students with gardens, reducing costs.

Poverty
Access to water can break the cycle of poverty. The communities we serve are ready to grow. We can't wait to see how they choose to do it.]]> 2017-01-13 09:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/09077_casp/49jv8hf88ogr/wish/146985836 The video 09077_casp https://padlet.com/09077_casp/49jv8hf88ogr/wish/147308393 This is the video that I choose, I think that is very interesting.
