WATER

Three or four times a week this woman walks 10-12kms. with 25kg. of water hung from her head to get water the colour of coffee, from a hole in a river bed where animals also drink!

A well close to her village will give her the “Water for Life” she and her family need. No longer will she have to risk the many diseases from the contaminated water she walks so far to collect.

AAF works with our sister charity the “Wishing for a Well Appeal” who have a great deal of experience since 1986 providing dams and wells in this area.

WFAW founder Bryan Cooper has so far constructed 20 earth catchment dams and 10 deep wells. For many of the Akamba, this is the first time they have tasted clean, fresh, safe water.
