Free water social injustice

Clean water was proven to be crucial to caring for and preventing aids or hiv in households. In South Africa people have been denied there right by the government to their share of free water. The government is supposed to provide the people of South Africa with 6000 liters of free water every month. In 2006 this agreement was not met by the government. South Africa has an extremely limited source of water, so the poor are not able to afford to pay for it and as a result many people have suffered and continue to suffer.
