Today 4,000 children died because they couldn’t get a drink of clean water. Through the inspiring story of Charles Banda – a local fireman turned waterman who has drilled more than 800 wells for the people of Malawi – we see how clean water is a solution to many of the problems in sub-Saharan Africa and other impoverished regions. From hunger and poverty to women’s equality and population control, HIV/AIDS to environmental sustainability, Banda makes it clear that the best way to empower people in developing nations, and to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), is by putting water first.
