Believe it or not in some countries water is not necessary for personal hygiene. Plant and other herbs are set on fire and the smoke cleanses the body of all sorts of toxins and unwanted body odors. Try this next time you go camping. Ideally water and soap are best for disinfection but in most African couturiers fire and the resulting smoke eradicates most bacteria. When it comes to dental hygiene people living in rural Somalia for example use broken pieces of branched to brush their thees. The end result is actually more healthy for gums and teeth leaving the mouth chemical free. I hope this helps.

The problem in the poor communities in some parts of Africa isn't not having enough water, it's the lack of water clean enough to drink. Dirty water is okay to wash in but bad to drink because it carries diseases. That's why charities build wells and tanks to get clean water.

Africa is a continent with many countries. How you worded your question it seems that you think all of Africa is poor and don't have water to drink. What they show you on television isn't the whole picture. They usually show the rural and poor parts of Africa.

IN SHOWERS WITH SOAP AND WATER! The whole continent is not on feed the children. It's only a fraction of Africa that is going through a famine. There are other places in Africa that are more luxurious than Hollywood.

This is a rude and racist question. Do you happened to know anything about Africa. If it's the media you are looking towards to educate you about the Continent, then you're more ignorant than them. Please, do not kill your brain cells by thinking garbage.

They aren't washed in clean water. They'd get sick if they drank it.
