Did you know that in the developing countries women and children spend about 6 hours carrying water on a daily bases? Did you know that millions of people are working in the international development to reduce this number? Did you know that you can also help? In the last few months we asked children in Hungary in four different cities, these questiones.

Within the framework of our ’Vízibility for Everyone’ project, we and Taita Foundation visited children in Fehérvárcsurgó, Kaposvár, Makó and Szeged and talked about the development, the school building, and the way the Orphanage works.

More than 300 children from the four cities got to know the plant life and animal life, hydrography and geography of Africa, everyday life of Congolese and Kenyan children, activity of the two foundations and the importance of water.

Children of Fehérvárcsurgó’s school were waiting for us with their self-made paintings, then we were watching a movie together and finished the day with face painting. Children in Kaposvár enjoyed the Fair Trade game the most: teams had to choose a country and play that they give and buy their products. In Makó two classes got to know the operations and targets of Foundation for Africa and Taita Foundation. In Szeged students learned about the problems in Africa, the possible solutions and of course the possibilities to help and join the development.

We believe that knowledge is the key of development. We would like to approach to an open-mind and tolerant society. World processes are interacting with global challenges. Water shortage, climate change or consequences of inequality – we feel their effects on our own skin.
