Water

One of the most important needs in any community is water. Think about all the ways we can use water. Write your ideas in the boxes below.

Imagine yourself in the following situation.

You live in a very poor area on the outskirts of a large city. Your house is very small with no water, electricity or gas.

To get water you have to walk to the river 1 mile away; the water there is dirty.

You have already asked your local council to help you get clean water, but they say that they have no money and are unable to do anything.

Everybody in your community is becoming fed up at having to live in such conditions, but nobody knows what to do.

With someone else, discuss what your life is like and what you could do to help improve it.

Try acting this out.

Why not write an imaginary letter to the local council telling them how you feel? Or design a poster to encourage people to join you on the campaign to improve the place you live.
