RAIN 'Replenish Africa Initiative'





 "WATER IS LIFE"

I just watched these videos and i really felt sad for the people who live in these regions where clean water is not easily accessible, it makes you think about how we take these things for granted,even though i live in Nigeria where sometimes water can also be an issue if you dont have a source of water which is reliable most people need to buy water in tankers which they reserve and use for less than a month or a few weeks, there are also bore holes which provide people with water but sometimes depending on the area you live in the water might be cloudy or even dirty with a horrid stench, with this source you might also have to invest in  good water treatement  varying from expensive machines to chemicals which can be added to purify the water. Even with all these sources it is still a tricky task.

The Coca Cola Company first announced the RAIN project in March 2009, where  US$30 million would be dedicated to bring clean water across Africa. Chris Taylor, Solange Knowles, Twin Shadow and director Natalie Johns all came together to create "Kenya", a donate to download track for RAIN.
