In the OSU barometer a few weeks again there was an article about a very important cause that engineering student have been fund-raising for. Think about not having water for even a day, think about having to travel just to get drinking water. There are still many countries that do not have water sources that are easily accessible by the people. OSU engineers without boarders have teamed up with the Water Project to water Project to our campus. According to the article The Water Project’s is a , “nonprofit organization helps groups bring clean water to desperate areas around the world. They are currently working in five different countries, helping to bring sanitary water to the over one billion people world-wide without this basic resource.” Their current project is taking place in Kenya and is still very far from being accomplished.
Once water is accessible to these people not only will health increase but there agriculture will improve. This goes with the old saying “give a man a fish, he will eat for a day but give a man a pole and he will for life.” If we can help these people to get the water they need then they have the basis for farming. If these countries can improve water quality and the agriculture systems the quality of health would only improve. Water is the root to life, without it nothing can live or happen. Next time you go to get a glass of water from your kitchen remember that many people are not as privileged but with OSU’s help and the help of organizations like The Water Project maybe someday everyone will have clean water.
