問題詳情

　The idea may hit you once or twice a year. You come home on a hot summerday, hoping to have a cool bath, and find out there is no water. Then you see howimportant water is in your everyday life. However, in many parts of the world, wateris not just about one’s everyday needs.　　
    In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting waterfalls on women’s shoulders. Girls are often kept home from school to collect waterwhile their brothers stay at school studying. Studies show Tanzanian girls who live15 minutes from clean water spend 12% more time at school than those who live anhour away. More time spent collecting water means less time for learning. For thesegirls, “Knowledge is power” is not just words; it is a sad fact in real life. With lesstime spent at school, their chances of getting well-paid jobs are small, and they oftenhave no voice in important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often marriedinto poor families. They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children,who often end up dying young. For the baby girls who are lucky enough to live, theirlife may still center around “water,” just like it did for their mothers.
