For this week’s Throwback Thursday, we go to Kenya 2011.

The woman in this photo had just walked 21 miles to reach a well (i.e. clean water). 21 miles! She could have walked to a nearby stream and collected water that would have made her and her family sick. But, instead she sacrificed time to ensure her family had clean water to drink.

There are millions more like her in Africa. Let’s shorten their walk together. Just $20 will bring clean water access to one person in Africa. Shorten the walk at nextmillion.org.
