Water shortage in Africa
Water shortage remains a serious issue in parts of Africa for years, especially in North Africa. In Africa, millions of people don’t have access to clean drinking water, and they are living in areas with poor sanitation services.
The reasons for water shortage in Africa.
Frequent droughts due to global warming and deforestation have shrunk lakes and changed rainfall patterns.
Traditional irrigation technology and agriculture have caused a good sum of water waste.
Growing population and urbanization have increased the domestic and industrial water consumption, which can’t be fully supported by poor infrastructure.

What qualities help Ryan realise his dream
Ryan’s qualities I admire most:
Ryan’s story makes me understand that perseverance makes the impossible possible.
As far as I’m concerned, success comes to anyone who insists working with perseverance. Instead, lack of perseverance can only result in failure or disappointment.
We see this in our life. Outstanding athletes spend almost all their time practicing. Their endurance is beyond imagination.
