Most of the water in Madagascar is undrinkable

Due to the lack of clean drinking and sanitation water, kids are always staying home sick which is having a huge impact on their education.

WaterAid is a NGO devoted to help countries with little clean water.

Citizens of Madagascar are fed up with the lack of fresh drinking water and are doing everything they can to preserve the water they have. Local Water Management Councils have been set up in the major towns and have had a big impact. Townsfolk now aren't dying as frequently from dehydration and there is more water to go round thanks to the one bucket policy. There is a well or water pump in town and each family can fil their bucket with fresh water for the day.
