Water is life. This truth has never been more poignant than in rural Africa. Clean water lies at the core of many challenges facing the African people. Caught in a horrible cycle of sickness and disease, contaminated water destroys the strength and development of African families and communities. This leads to extreme poverty, lack of education, and greater illnesses. Through The Thirst Project, wells are being built in communities where there is no access to clean water. This book of images is dedicated to that effort.
