We take it for granted to the things around us and especially the water.. be it running tap in our house sink or just wasting.. Very well narrated by the world vision women.. I wish God will use world vision in such a massive way that people like Sabina would get benefited. God Bless.
I think that we should not just throw our money at them and hope it makes a difference, we need to work together with these women/communities because we don't know what they want. we can't expect to learn everything from spending one day with Sabina
this is incredible, to see this in action is amazing. i will be sponsoring a child soon - hopefully i can make a difference to a community so they don't have to do this ever again!
I appreciated this video so much that I signed up for monthly contributions after I viewed it the first time. Thank you for the work you do, World Vision.
My observation, having watched many similar videos... is that the MEN control the village.... the MEN decide where the village is.... and it's the WOMEN who fetch the water. But then again... droughts are all across the world, so the water gets further and further away from villages, all over the world. But still, as the water gets further away, it's the women who still have to fetch it! And just so you know, i am a man.
WoW, this is a really enlightening video: Thank you for it. It helps me continue to rejoice in the privilege I have of sponsoring several children through World Vision Canada.
Those are some good things to think about. World Vision uses a holistic community development model that helps communities tackle the root issues of poverty themselves. 97% of our staff are from the communities that we serve and we always work with the local leaders. We commit 10-15 years (depending on the situation and what is necessary) and tackle issues including clean water, health & hygiene, food, sanitation, education, economic development etc.
For more details, check out the "HOW WORLD VISION WORKS" video on our channel. I'd send you a link, but that's not allowed on the comments section in RUclips. Hope that helps clarify a little bit of how we work to build a better world for kids! -Jonathan, WV staff
Hi lolbandit. You might find that they can't in fact live next to the river as the land is already owned by someone else. There is a reason why traditionally the poorest people have lived furthest away from vital resources, the reason being they simply can't afford to rent or buy a place close by.
Hi Caitlin. It's great that you are able to support other organizations who you trust. We always encourage people to make wise decisions with their money, including reviewing charities on Charity Navigator and learning more about their financial accountability. We don't believe that our employees make excessive salaries, and we take financial stewardship very seriously.

great documentary
That people have to go through so much just to get water is appalling, and very sad.
What an example! And at home (Chile) how much water we waste.
Indeed women dont need to walk all this distance to collect unsafe water.
Keep up the good work.
before there was feast and famine this is the way the world was
