Water

Available for over a year

Water is one of the world’s most precious resources yet billions of people don’t have enough even in places where it is cheap or free. How to provide clean and safe water to people in the developing world is a vexing problem and one that is attracting attention from business. In this programme Peter Day visits growing urban areas in Kenya and Zambia and talks to some of the people who have taken on the challenge of providing water. He also meets those who are struggling to get enough water for their daily needs.
