This is my third digital story. My digital story is about a major global crisis, which is the global clean water crisis. My digital story will explain the importance of the global clean water crisis, and what we can do to help. I will also discuss the effects of dirty water, and how it's so important to have clean water.
Throughout the world, nearly one billion people suffer without access to clean water. I am Jessica Biel and I strongly support the Clean Water Effect. The Clean Water Effect gives clean water to countries that are in desperate need of water such as certain parts of Africa. Most people believe that every country has access to clean water, but this is not the case. Clean water is much more important then you think. We all know that water is a necessity for the human body. Roughly 70% of the human body is made up of water. Water contains minerals that we need, and it also cleanses our bodies.
Have you ever felt thirsty to the point that you were going to faint? We've all felt this way, but it is nothing compared to the people in small tribes in Africa. In Africa, tribes mostly get there water from dirty lakes or rivers. This is a bad idea because the water can be contaminated with garbage, and bacteria. The color of the water is also extremely different. Water is seen as crystal clear, and also very clean. To the small tribes, the water's color is either a light brown, orange, or a dark brown color. This contaminated water can lead to a chain reaction of diseases and poverty. Needless to say, many people are suffering without clean drinking water. We cannot continue to let this happen, so there are many ways that you can do to help. If you donate at least 5$ to organizations such as the Clean Water Effect, or The Water Project, you can help raise money for millions of people to have safe drinking water. Many organizations have built wells and pipes that store clean water throughout the tribes of Africa. With your help, we can continue to do this and help everyones hygiene and health.
