(MENAFN- Nam News Network) INDONESIAN WOMEN FACE DAILY SWIM FOR CLEAN WATER
INDONESIAN WOMEN FACE DAILY SWIM FOR CLEAN WATER. Villager Mama Hasria swims upstream with about 200 empty jerry cans tied to her back, a daily trip she and other local women make to get clean water for their community on Sulawesi island, Indonesia, on March 22, 2018. As a scorching sun beats down, Hasria makes the four kilometre (2.5 mile), hour-long trip along the murky Mandar river to clean water wells built along the riverbank. There, the 46-year- old fills up her cans with clean water made drinkable by the surrounding soil which acts as a natural filter and purifier. Thursday is World Water Day, a UN initiative which this year focuses on "nature-based" solutions for sourcing potable water globally. World Water Day is marked on 22 March every year to bring attention to the importance of water. Photo courtesy Agencies
