Water is so essential to life and health, that we often take it for granted. Yet for a billion of the world's people, safe drinking water is out of reach. Nafisa Barot lives in the district of Gujarat in India, where water shortage is a problem. There is no water for hygiene and and for even taking care of their body needs and other needs. They just won't have enough water to clean themselves up.
Women suffer the most from the lack of water.
They are responsible for obtaining it. We'd talk to the people, went to the different communities and we said what are the issues that are facing you. And what are you going to do about it. And in all the communities, the question of water came and when we probed it a little more, we recognized that the women and the men were talking about different priorities. We are the ones when the children get sick, when it's so dusty and we don't have water.
