“There is no joy without water.”
"Other than going out in a random rain storm to wash, I have never bathed in my life."
"For decades, Helen had spent most of her days walking and waiting to collect water. It was such a time-consuming process that she could only manage to bring home two Jerry Cans per day."
Experience life without water
Maji is the Kenyan word for water. This site is dealing with the 1/4 that struggle to get water. In these locations the burden of getting water falls mainly on the girls and ladies who can spend half of their waking hours searching for and hauling water which generally comes from hand dug holes. This brown water is scooped out of these holes a cup at a time and has to water the herd animals and family.
After watering the animals they fill a 6 gallon container and carry it home for the young animals and the family. It is boiled into tea (collected from growing tips of bushes) and served at meal time. The morning the meal is tea only, no lunch and a small meal in the evening. One serving for us will feed five there and there is generally only one item to eat.
