Unlike the children who must travel great distances each day to obtain fresh drinking water, this rainwater harvesting system in western Rwanda collects rain from the rooftops during the rainy season - allowing for clean, safe drinking water for the village. The Dow Live Earth Run for Water initiative will create a global fundraising movement to combat the water crisis by raising funds to support water purifications projects worldwide.
