Where do you get your water?

6th January 2015:

This lady is collecting her water from a polluted stream.

After months without rain the streams, rivers and swamps fill up again.

BUT the water here will have washed months of nasties from the fields where open defecation has taken place. The worst fear here is Cholera, which usually means a fairly instant death, followed closely by diarrhoea.

This is why pumps are so vital.

They save lives.
