This proves we have a soft and delicate life compare to other's.

Today, my eldest daughter, who is 10 years old, was complaining over putting the dishes away and picking up some things that were left on the counter and other basic chores. So I had her and my 6 year old and 5 old sons watch this. Their attitudes changes right away. They couldn’t believe there were children in other parts of the world that have to work so hard just to drink a dirty cup of water. We may not be able to change the world, but we are able to change the way our children think and teach them to have gratitude for the simple things we take for granted.

I teared up when they got back home and poured the dirty water to drink it. Thank you for your hard work and service.

This is the video that keeps playing through my head each day as I walk on the Camino for my charity:water campaign. My walk is nothing compared to this. My pack is half the weight, ergonomically designed to be comfortable, there’s a shower waiting for me at the end of the day, …and I’m not 12. 💔

Incredible will power that girl has. So many people just don't know how good they have it.

My parents came from a place like this. They used to put sugar in the water and they had parasites. I'm honored to begin supporting Charity Water to help people like this.

I was so moved by this, that right after watching it I had to fill a 5 gallon jug with water and carry it up a hill and back, the whole time thinking a 12 year old is doing this! in sandals, on loose rocky terrain... I was panting and sweating, and I am a 26 year old man! Great video, thanks so much for it! Helps put my world into perspective a bit...

such a strong and beautiful young lady. thank you for sharing what it's like to get water.

I got to spend a year leading humanitarian construction projects across the Horn of Africa. The work included drilling water wells in Ethiopia and Uganda as well as building clinics, bridges & schools, the culmination of a 25-year military career. It was very rewarding. ==== I'm still amazed that this girl lugs 40 gallons of water up that mountain every day. I don't think, in my prime, I could have done it. Needs must, I suppose.

My teacher actually assigned me to watch this video.

It brought up tears to my eyes. Im brazilian and we are blessed for having so much water sources here. I felt spoiled and this video has humbled me up. I will pray for the people there and eventually help throughout a non profit organization helping people in this kind of situation. May God look up for them, giving them strenght and hope for a brighter tomorrow. God bless ya'll!

Thank you Tyler. You’re a superb fellow. Most people have no clue‼️ I hope all show this to their children and grandchildren. Action, not words. I’m happy to be of help, albeit little…

This little girl is gorgeous, and her ability to hike in flip flops with that heavy load, I commend and respect her

I appreciate him video taping this and getting it out to the world. Big inspiration as to how the world no matter what color , bred, kind etc needs to help each other. Touching and moving

At my house I have filtered water that Is fresh, refreshing, and ice cold... I wish I could fill up a bunch of those cans and give it to the people who need clean water most

My teacher assigned me to watch this video and I just love the way you are helping People be safe as water pollution is a big problem in the whole world especially Africa and I just love the way you help these people, keep doing such awesome job and Love you very much ❤️❤️👍👍

This is so sad. I’m glad that your giving these people clean water. I hope that you succeed.

I complain about driving in traffic waiting at a grocery store. I'm spoiled and makes me realize how easy we've really got it.

I love this! I'd like to use it to share with my students so that they can see how children their own age live differently than them, and how some different living conditions can cause a lack of access to clean water.

So grateful for the opportunity for Charity Water sharing video's journey's with us allow us to be apart of the hope!

What an inspirational video! Thank you. Good bless all.

Great job, I think the Govt. officials and politicians who are seating in Air conditioned chamber and grabbing money on the name of providing facilities should have to send on volunteering and have to work like you to realize the trouble of general people.

when i was 12 or 13 i used to carry two of those 40 pound jerrycans lol even in addisababa we used to have water shortage (i think nothing has changed till now)

this VIDEO must be shown to students all over the world, especially those with TAPS inside their house, to BECOME appreciative for WHAT they already have.

I like this . Posting from San Francisco, CA , USA

Thank you!!!

than you very much :) i feel very bad to see my people suffer like this

I've admired and valued CW for a long time. I made a humble donation and posted this video on my FB page offering that others might feel inspired to make a donation too 💖 How do their bodies survive? As the video states, they must experience illness often. It is amazing the extreme inequities in this world. And to think simply a collective choice could change it all.

I love your videos. I hope many people will be blessed by your works! ❤️❤️❤️

It is so hard for so many people. We take water for granted.

Wow since im watching this late.. The little girl Tarik should be about 19-20 years old by now and her younger siblings in their teens. Im praying they are living in better conditions they were in this video.. So sad watching my brothers & sisters suffer like this in Africa.. Some of the inner village ppl without internet access dont even know theres a life like the one we (the viewers) have 😢, may God bless them all in the afterlife ❤️

It is so hard to see women and girls traveling a long distance to fetch water which is not even safe and clean. I am currently working on a project which is about gender roles in water fetching in Ethiopia and I found that women and girls spend a substantial amount of time in water collection activities and face different issues, even gender violence while doing these practices. I think the government of Ethiopia should work for these people as it is essential for the girls to get their education on time and for women to get involved in community engagement and decision-making processes. Your video is amazing and I would love to share this video with my classmates.

This impressions opened my eyes. Thank you.

Thank you for help out it means a lot !!!

God bless them ...may they have clean water soon

Me and my siblings were one of this girl when I was back home in Addis Ababa when there was a shortage of the water. The difference was I can't compare my situations to this girls because it's not even near to compare, but I know how it feels to carry those "jerican" 😩

Thank you. God bless you

I was touched by this.... This little girl is amazingly courageous. We are so spoiled here in Canada.

Thank you for the wonderful mini docs! ❤️ I love this but I can’t stop laughing 😂 when he stops and says “Little show off. I told her this wasn’t a race.” as the girl goes running up the hill. Then the translator, “You breathe like a woman giving birth.” The reality of when she arrived home, them drinking the dirty water is heartbreaking. My family is donating to this.

And she's amazing.

It's interesting to see how she carries water on her back.In Kenya people carry on their heads.Any way, let's preserve water, somewhere in the world someone really needs it🙏🏾

My mom forced me to watch this I love it.

Thank You

sorry to see this, but I held my tears because of the last scene, when her mom drank the water, I could feel that as I have water, I feel so bad an=bout this water and her climb up and down the mountain just to get the water, I imagine that if some day we get tired of life, and I won't be able to collect water, maybe some of us will sit and cry about life, hope Tariq and her community will get the best resolution. Love yaaa from Cambodia

I have decided to show this video to my children when they want to be spoiled ungrateful children! It gives them a reality check when they don't get their way!

As a child my parents thought me to filter water in the swamps in the forest with Moss, sticks, ash, sand, stones and more Moss. It did not work in Germany or England because I found no Moss and even the tapwater was often not so healthy either. Having a system that clean water is necessary.

I rewatched this 20+times

We can never compare ourselves to the people of Africa. This is a very serious matter!

Actions speak louder than words!

I appreciate the work you guys do, thanks1

Thanks for sharing this story, I will be showing my class.

Thank you for putting this video to show reality as it is! I will look at your charitywater website for details on how we can help

I'm sorry!! I'll do my best to work harder. And do anything that can provide you all with clean water.

The World should help them.

Thank you for your video the lady is strong 💪

I love this sooooooooooo much

that little girl has superpowers

Inventor #MosesWest atmospheric CLEAN WATER Generation machines..Amazing❤🖤💚

Very inspirational. I think my family wastes a lot of water daily the water that we waste for nothing some family's could use for a day. I think it would be very hard to go every day for a bit of water. Hope they got the help they need.

If I leave a glass of water on the counter and come back to it a couple hours later, I dump it out and get a fresh one.

You are amazing guys.

Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he can eat for a lifetime.

30 minutes walking on foot to collect water plus another 30 minutes coming home with water buckets it's a very tough... And the heat of the sun not to forget... It's challenging...

Please give an update if you can on the security situation for Tarik and her family. Many prayers for the people of Ethiopia and especially those in the Tigray region considering the recent crisis.

I can't understand the people who give the video a bad rating. That a person gives up his dream of being a doctor to get clean water for people he doesn't know at all is just amazing. I cried and was shocked that we have such a great life but some people risk their lives to have a sip of dirty water.

I carried my water every day, for showering, for washing the dishes, for washing our clothes,etc. I was just a kid.

God bless you

I was asked to watch this by a teacher back in high school, and I’m glad I did. I really feel for these people in the documentary that didn’t have clean water to drink; but it’s good that they do now. But what about the other millions everywhere else? Also, while well-intentioned, one does have to wonder whether this was all filmed with the citizens’ consent…if not, could this be considered exploitation of others who don’t have what we take for granted? There probably is one or two poor white families who don’t have any clean water either, not just in the developed world but everywhere else, too. Regardless, I do hope that one day everyone has clean water to drink the world over. The corrupt jackasses need to pull themselves out of their palace and see what’s happening in the real world; we can’t finish this project alone…this costs money to accomplish (money that the rich have) and it adds up fast. Furthermore, I think everyone the world over needs to try to learn about this sort of thing; the more participants the world has, the faster and better the results will turn out.

I can't imagine doing that every day, but the bright side is that its a work out! I still feel bad tho, there is very little water in the river. 😢

Thank YoU.

your awesome...

love you Great men You're a Great Person

Amazing

Is this guy related to ADAM DRIVER? ❤the resemblance is unreal…. Esp from the side view, to the shape of the facial hair

Such a fine program.... curious that in the beginning you would mix irrelevant silliness with such a serious issue.

Amazing to you

This video is 3 years old. Did this town ever get a water well? Is this little girl still walking 2 miles to get water?

I used to do this back home carry water as a child from a far place only difference is that it was clean water, this is sad

Que reporte mais rigrassado que lindo😍😭

All should be more careful in water saving projects

परमात्मा इन पानी के अभाव में जीने वाले लोगों का भला करे 🙏🙏इनके दुख, कष्ट को दूर करे इनको सुख ओर समृद्धि दे ओर पानी की कमी को दूर करे 🙏🙏परमात्मा इन जरूरतमंद लोगों ओर इनके परिवार का भला करे 🙏🙏!!

Social and economic problems of Africa . Local governments are busy with infighting and corruption.

Hello A commendable job and a wonderful channel as well. Do you drill water holes as part of charity work too? If yes, I feel I could use your help to get water to my people in Togo.

If I were a Millionaire I would rather to help people like this than buying things that's not important at all

This show water importance

What water source did the have when people originally settled there? I assume they didn't settle somewhere without life's primary biological need.

Life in some places in the world is tough so 1 litre of water needs to walk for a long time.

Im so sad for the People 😢😢😢😢😢

Ok so my husband and I live on a boat and we were just complaining about having to go fetch water since it is November on the Chesapeake Bay and they just shut the water off on the docks and winterized for the season. So, I made him watch this!!! #1. We have a 20 gallon container AND a cart! #2. There’s a CLEAN city tap only 1/4 mile up the dock on land! #3. We have a 100 gallon capacity fresh water tank on board AND AN ELECTRIC PUMP (and electricity!!!)to fill it with! #4. We even have a hot water heater to warm it once it is on board!!! Moral of the story: DON’T COMPLAIN!!! My God, it could be SO MUCH worse!!! In about the same time it takes this poor girl to fetch a few gallons of dirty water each day... we have a warm (or cold), FRESH water for a WEEK!!!

I will teaching in my class.

Thank allah for als to have it

What’s the name of the intro song?

How can I donate to her specifically??

Inventor #MaxwellChikumbutso RENEWABLE ENERGY no electric plugs or gas needed ❤🖤💚for lamps,cars,tv etc. Amazing

Where is this location, please?

i wonder if they can put a internet cable across the ocean or nearest build clean water reservoir i wonder how much it would cost to put a pipe with clean water then stations where you could get water not far from you like the earth is made up of 71 percent of water

Any updates about this family?

Nice video 22g (brother ji) आपको कोटि कोटि प्रणाम 🙏🙏🌳🌳!!

I want to help them

Where exactly in Ethiopia is this?
