Indigenous Families Fear “Sick Water”
An indigenous family of 8 lives on this platform over a saltwater marsh on the coast of Central America. Their only fresh water is an hour upstream by canoe. But it’s called “sick water,” because it’s heavily polluted by people and animals living further upstream.
Right – Home for a family of eight over a salt-water marsh.
Do the parents know the danger to the kids?
Yes.
Do they have a choice?
No.
The mom says, “I know I’m giving my children sick water, but they get thirsty and it’s all I have. That’s why they’re sick most of the time.”
“Safe drinking water must come first. Without it, we’re fighting a losing battle.”
- Each day Rosalie paddles her canoe an hour up a freshwater stream to fill the jugs with drinking water polluted by human and animal waste. A water tank will give Rosalie a chance to survive and grow up.
- Gonzo, age six, suffers chronic diarrhea from polluted drinking water. It frequently rains where he lives. A rain catchment tank will change his life.
What Medical Volunteers SaySafe water must come first.
