There are 2.2 billion people in the world who do not have access to safe drinking water. It is said that nearly 1,500 infants lose their lives every day. We interviewed an American NGO about its efforts in rural Kenya.
What catches your eye next to the water stations are blue plastic containers. They are installed at every water station like mailboxes. The containers are dispensers that release liquid when you open the valve. When villagers fill up a 20-liter plastic tank, they pour the liquid from the dispenser into the water they just collected. Every person who comes to collect water does the same thing. It seems to be a habit.
