The African Well Fund

Another socially conscious post. One thing a good number of people don’t seem to be aware of are the environmental problems the continent faces, one of these being water shortage (or if not shortage, contamination).

The African Well Fund focuses its energies on Sub-Saharan Africa, where this problem is at its worst. Please follow the above link and read some of the information. The site also contains links to other information resources on this problem.

Something ironic is that water shortages are not strictly confined to Africa, or even desert regions, but here in the US we’ve experienced them as well, and our reactions oftentimes, if not well thought out, lead to further environmental damage. California is a good example of this, and we’re seeing the effects of water shortages in Las Vegas.
