There is a worm living inside a child, slowly draining away that child's life. Slowly, draining that child to the point of no return. Intestinal worms are just one of the many disease-causing pathogens found in contaminated water. Intestinal worms suck away their host’s nutrients resulting in the malnourishment, which stunts a child's growth. With water.org, slowly but surely intestinal worms infecting people through contaminated water will impossible. Water.Org is a worthy charity to receive your twenty-dollar donation, because they kill two birds with one stone by providing people with clean water and sanitation for people who don’t have either or both.

In many places where spend hours fetching safe drinking water for their families, which stops then from having a proper education, because they do not have time to go to school or time to have a normal childhood. According to daily news co-founder of Water.org Matt Damon said when he asked a girl fetching water in Haiti, what she wanted to do with the free time her that a water.org tap has been installed and she said, “”I’m going to play””. Playing is a normal part of childhood, but girls who fetch water do not even get time to play. Water.Org empowers women, because in most societies women are responsible for most of the domestic work in the house, while men are usually the breadwinners. Water.Org allows women to take out small loans that allow them to build sanitary toilets, and have taps in their own homes with their water credit program. This empowers women, because it gives them more time to be go to school, or time to work(if they have jobs), both of which help give women brighter futures.

This disease may be on the brink of being eradicated entirely but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the grossest things that anyone has ever seen. The parasite enters the body via unsafe drinking water. When people drink water infected with water fleas that have have been hosting the larvae of the parasite. There are no symptoms, to begin with, but about one year later, blisters on the feet or legs begin to develop and then the adult fully developed worm crawls out of the host body over a period of a few weeks. It’s said that the pain is intense and can incapacitate a person for weeks at a time. The pain can also continue for months after the infection. The parasite needs to infect a person at least once a year in order to continue. There were an estimated 3.5 million cases in 1986 but the disease has been greatly reduced over time and only 22 cases were reported in 2015. This disease will probably be the first parasitic disease to be completely eradicated in humans.
Some families in Afghanistan need water more than anything so they have to send their own kids early in the morning in the cold to get water but they can't because they are too weak .

By being an activist for children's rights, running a talk show, and being an important figure in the eyes of many Americans, Oprah Winfrey has impacted Americans across the world by bringing attention to those in need. Many children in Africa are not getting the chance to get an education, a majority of those children are girls. “In sub-Saharan Africa, over 12 million girls are at risk of never receiving an education. In Yemen, it is more than 80% of girls who will never have the opportunity to go to school” (Humanium). However with the influence and voice of one person, Oprah Winfrey, the access to schools is becoming more available to those in Africa.
In the letter “Our big bet for the future” Bill and Melinda Gates discuss the issue of the discrepancies of women receiving education, proper health care, necessities, and luxuries compared to men. They provide startling statistics showing that “In Africa, women are 24 percent less likely than men to own a cell phone; in South Asia, it’s 37 percent”(Bill and Melinda Gates 23). This puts the issue at hand into a more easy and understandable perspective and shows that it needs to be resolved. In the informative chart
In the Nepal’s example on the web, the child sickness was due to lack of education on food hygiene and lack of infrastructure (sanitation and drinking water). Thus, teaching the mother about treating water before drinking and the importance of hygiene in handling aliments would prevent the child diarrhea episode and even save the other son that died in the past from this disease.
Broni-Mensah got water for thousands of Ghanaians and other rural African countries. First of all, “The Manchester-based PhD student's response was to launch GiveMeTap -- a sustainable water scheme where people can buy stainless steel water bottles and refill them using a network of cafes and restaurants across Britain” (Said-Moorhouse). Here, Broni-Mensah started the company when he realized how hard it must be to get clean water to poor people. Moreover, “Outside of Africa, Broni-Mensah continues to push the GiveMeTap ethos and build up the free water refill participation network” (Said-Moorhouse). As you can see here, Broni-Mensah is working hard to build up GiveMeTap’s reputation so he can give more clean water to rural Africa. As Said-Moorhouse said, “To date, GiveMeTap has been able to build four water projects in Ghana, Malawi and Namibia with another four projects to be constructed in Ghana from December” (Said-Moorhouse). Broni-Mensah’s company has been quite successful in building water projects. consequently, GiveMeTap and Broni-Mensah has been able to save thousands of people and will save thousands

We do not have to do so many grueling tasks to get through our everyday life. Today, mothers teach their daughters to be more independent. Women in third world countries do not have the luxuries we do. They still have many rules that hold them back from being their own person.

John Donne, a member of metaphysical school in the Seventeenth century, exhibited his brilliant talent in poetry. In "The Flea," he showed the passion to his mistress via persuasive attitude. The tone might straightforwardly create playfulness or sinfulness; yet, the poem contains none of either. What impress readers most is situation and device. The situation between the speaker and the audience is persuasion, love or marriage. As to device, the notable parts are diction and rhetoric skills. Furthermore, unique characteristics of this poem are also an important element of his persuasive tone.
Establishment of Ethos: We live in a country where we are fortunate enough to not even have to worry about getting access to water. So much so that clean water is something that we definitely take for granted. All water in the US has been cleaned to some extent. We can drink our hose water or even pool water and not get sick…or not that sick. In reality, 780 million people lack access to clean water. That’s 2.5 times the amount of people in America!
Despite progress in recent years girls still suffer a lot of disadvantage in education systems. While gender equality in education remains a crucial issue for many countries women still account for two-thirds of the world’s illiterate population. Estimated thirty one million girls of primary school age and thirty four million girls of lower secondary school age were not enrolled in school in 2011. (http://www.UNICEF.org/education/bege-61657.html) Girls’ education is both an intrinsic right and a critical lever to reaching other development objectives says UNICEF. Girls’ education is important to the achievement of quality learning. Girls who have been educated are likely to marry later and to have smaller and healthier families. Educated women can recognize the importance of health care and know how to seek it for themselves and their children. Education helps girls and women to know their rights and to gain confidence to claim them. However, women’s literacy rates are significantly lower than men’s in most developing countries. UNICEF recognizes the opportunities provided through girls’ education and it supports governments in the reduction of gender discrimination through interventions at national, local and community levels aimed to empower girls. As we look towards 2015 and beyond, UNICEF continues to take a more transformative approach to girls’ educ...
