Presentation transcript:

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. Africa is the poorest continent, affected by many plagues - such as malaria and AIDS - as well as the place where the majority of the population suffers from malnutrition or even starvation. In several African countries civil wars and armed conflicts of various kinds are being continued.

WATER IN AFRICA Water in Africa is very dirty. Lack of water is something much worse than the pain caused by desire. Every year due to lack of clean water and adequate sanitation 2 million people die. Life and health of children in particular is in danger - their body has the least power to defend themselves against pathogens contained in the dirty water. Children who cannot drink water, suffer from scabies, anemia, lose sight, do not grow.

WITHOUT WATER, NO FOOD. Not only do people need water to live - the plants need it. Clean water is essential in the kitchen. When it runs out, there are diseases of the digestive system and the body is unable to absorb nutrients in food.

NO WATER COSTS Although it primarily affects the poor, lack of water is very expensive: you have to have money to buy water from those who have it and are willing to sell it. Poor families living in Tanzania spent on the purchase of 10% of the water resources available to them. More expensive medicines are needed to treat deficiencies caused by diseases of pure water.
