Today and every day.

When you start your day going in search of water, or firewood, or food, it doesn't leave a lot of time for earning a living.

When you need to send your children to do the same, it doesn't leave a lot of time for them to go to school.

Today and every day,  for families living in rural Senegal and in many other places in sub-Saharan Africa, this is the reality.

Because of drought, deforestation and other effects of global warming, people who for centuries have lived comfortably in their native villages are finding themselves sinking deeper into poverty.

Today and every day, CREATE! is working to change this reality, to help people learn how to catch and conserve water, to reduce the amount of firewood that they need for cooking their food, to plant more trees, and to grow vegetables even in the dry season.
