Fetching Water

Fetching & hauling water for cooking & bathing is an essential part of each day.

The central water tower is a hopping place for the family groups who live at New Hope.

The surrounding villages collect water from wells that New Hope provides.

I don't know how they do it!!!

They wrap banana leaves to make like a platform on their heads.

Jerry cans (usually yellow but sometimes green or blue plastic containers for water) are an essential symbol of life in Africa...you can't survive without a means of collecting water.

Notice how she's using a flower bud (below) to stop the water from spilling out...
