It's my first time going to Africa. It's great experience and touching. This photo is one of stories I have seen there. Where you go, you see these yellow canisters . Women and kids were carring them but no men! . It's a daily journey from where they live to rivers or any water spots. The scene's heartbreaking it's remind me of my grandmother's generation in my country (Saudi Arabia) in 1950 when women and men fetching water frome wells . Either your pregnant or weak no choice because they need to survive.
Back to Africa and where my story is: Ethiopia. My trip in rain season what these peope do in dry season?! the part of answer found in borders near Keynia. Ethiopian tribe( Dasanch)who live there. They have been drinking: water with mud. When I remember the bottle full of mud, it makes me sad and helpless.
Low water stream in some part of the world is for :drinking , taking shower and washing clothes.
