Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Edem is scooping the water from the big basin to a smaller bucket that he can carry. Because of the long lines at the borehole, it is generally more efficient for children to draw the water into a big container and then either make trips with a smaller bucket (as Edem does) or call on someone bigger from home to come and carry it.
