You may get the ideaonce or twice a year.You come home on a hot summer day,hoping to have a cool bath,and find out there is no water.Then you see how important water is in your everyday life.However,in many parts of the world,water is not just about one's everyday needs.

In countries like Tanzania,water is hard to get,and the job of collecting water falls on woman's shoulders.Girls are often kept home from school to collect water while their brothers stay at school studying.More time spent collecting water means less time for learning.For these girls,"knowledge is power"is not just words;it is a sad fact in real life.With less time spent at school,their chances of getting well﹣paid jobs are small.And they often have no voice important matters,like who to marry.These girls are often married into poor families.They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children,so the children often die young.For the baby girls who are lucky enough to live,their life may still center around"water,"just like it did for their mothers.
