In this powerful video, we are reminded of the current water crisis affecting the world and the urgent need to take action. Women from various communities in Africa are particularly affected by this crisis, spending several hours every day collecting contaminated water, which poses significant health risks to them and their families. However, this is not solely a gender or African problem, as over 663 million people worldwide consume unsafe and contaminated water, which poses a severe threat to their health and wellbeing.

The video also highlights the hope that exists, as clean water can change everything, from improving health and increasing school attendance to empowering women and boosting economies. We are encouraged to take action in our own lives, conserve water, support organizations working towards providing clean water, and advocate for policies prioritizing access to safe water and sanitation for all.

The video ends with the inspiring story of the hummingbird, reminding us that we all have a role to play in addressing the water crisis. Despite feeling insignificant, we must take action and make changes in our lives to tackle the issue. Together, our small efforts can add up to significant changes, accelerating progress and making a real difference for communities worldwide.

Narrated by Adenike Akinsemolu, this video is a call to action on this #WorldWaterDay, urging us to become #OfficiallyGreen and work together to create a world where clean water is accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. Join us in the fight for clean water by visiting officiallygreen.org and learning more about the crisis and how you can help.
