Past Greenwood Parent Explores Impact of Clean Water

This past June, former Greenwood parent Alannah Campbell travelled to Tanzania with WaterAid Canada to see firsthand the impact clean water (or the lack thereof) has on the villages of Eastern Africa.
WaterAid is working in countries around the world, including Tanzania, to provide people with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. While in Tanzania, Shauna interviewed people who have been impacted by WaterAid’s work about the difference clean water makes for their community, and especially for women and girls; this past Sunday, she shared these stories for everyone to hear.

“The Water Carriers” aired on CBC Radio’s The Sunday Edition with Michael Enright on December 2. If you missed it, the podcast is available for streaming here.
