Today, my eldest daughter, who is 10 years old, was complaining over putting the dishes away and picking up some things that were left on the counter and other basic chores. So I had her and my 6 year old and 5 old sons watch this. Their attitudes changes right away. They couldn’t believe there were children in other parts of the world that have to work so hard just to drink a dirty cup of water. We may not be able to change the world, but we are able to change the way our children think and teach them to have gratitude for the simple things we take for granted.

This proves we have a soft and delicate life compare to other's.

I teared up when they got back home and poured the dirty water to drink it.
Thank you for your hard work and service.

[terminalhobbes]

Incredible will power that girl has. So many people just don't know how good they have it.

[daonguyen]

My parents came from a place like this. They used to put sugar in the water and they had parasites. I'm honored to begin supporting Charity Water to help people like this.

I was so moved by this, that right after watching it I had to fill a 5 gallon jug with water and carry it up a hill and back, the whole time thinking a 12 year old is doing this! in sandals, on loose rocky terrain... I was panting and sweating, and I am a 26 year old man!
Great video, thanks so much for it! Helps put my world into perspective a bit...

[aleankalli]

It brought up tears to my eyes.
Im brazilian and we are blessed for having so much water sources here.
I felt spoiled and this video has humbled me up.
I will pray for the people there and eventually help throughout a non profit organization helping people in this kind of situation. May God look up for them, giving them strenght and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
God bless ya'll!

I got to spend a year leading humanitarian construction projects across the Horn of Africa.
The work included drilling water wells in Ethiopia and Uganda as well as building clinics, bridges & schools, the culmination of a 25-year military career.
It was very rewarding.

I'm still amazed that this girl lugs 40 gallons of water up that mountain every day. I don't think, in my prime, I could have done it. Needs must, I suppose.

[gerardveritas]

Thank you Tyler.
You’re a superb fellow.

Most people have no clue‼️

I hope all show this to their children and grandchildren.

Action, not words. I’m happy to be of help, albeit little…

[DannyHauger]

Thanks for sharing this story, I will be showing my class.

[cravinggaming]

This is so sad. I’m glad that your giving these people clean water. I hope that you succeed.

[CarlyKleve]

I love this! I'd like to use it to share with my students so that they can see how children their own age live differently than them, and how some different living conditions can cause a lack of access to clean water.

This is the video that keeps playing through my head each day as I walk on the Camino for my charity:water campaign. My walk is nothing compared to this. My pack is half the weight, ergonomically designed to be comfortable, there’s a shower waiting for me at the end of the day, …and I’m not 12. 💔

[sissaroyce]

I appreciate him video taping this and getting it out to the world. Big inspiration as to how the world no matter what color, bred, kind etc needs to help each other. Touching and moving

[EeshTheGoat]

My teacher assigned me to watch this video and I just love the way you are helping People be safe as water pollution is a big problem in the whole world especially Africa and I just love the way you help these people, keep doing such awesome job and Love you very much ❤️❤️👍👍

[endod]

[savagesibs]

My teacher actually assigned me to watch this video.

[TheBananaDeanna]

So grateful for the opportunity for Charity Water sharing video's journey's with us allow us to be apart of the hope!

This little girl is gorgeous, and her ability to hike in flip flops with that heavy load, I commend and respect her
