Many countries in the eastern part of the world do not have clean drinking water. A city in the country of Africa called Swaziland is well known for not having alot of drinking water and maybe no drinking water at all. People have to travel many miles just to collect water from places where the water is filled with dangerous parasites and diseases. Many young people from Swaziland die because of the filthy water they drink. The only way for them to clean their water is to drop it through their shirts, but that only filters out the big stuff. The water will still contain all of the microscopic parasites and other harmful animals.
There is a group/organization known as "The Thirst Project". What they do is that they go out and talk to people about the importance of water in the world. The Thirst Project is a non-profit organization in America which aims to bring safe drinking water to communities around the world. Actress Chyler Leigh is a supporter. They use the help of many celebrities to communicate to people their intentions and why they're doing what they do. It costs approximately $7,800 dollars to build a water pump that people can finally drink clean healthy water from. Some of the countries that are being helped by this organization are Uganda and Kenya. I saved up my dolar by talking to people about the current situation with water and how we must not waste water because there are other people who need it much better than we can.
Saving up a dollar and helping an organization help people in the eastern part of the world has made my put myself in their shoes and i wouldn't like having to drink that type of water. If you consume filthy drinking water you're risking yourself to catch diseases such as Chlamydia, stomach infections, and ultimately death I feel good knowing that a dollar that i saved up has helped change one individuals life .
