Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Maasai women wait to be treated by the mobile health staff, all of whom are Maasai, except for the Peace Corps Volunteer. Most diseases here are water-borne. We treat typhoid, malaria, cholera, worms, scabies, and sexually transmitted diseases. We also vaccinate and monitor babies, and teach families how to protect springs and to boil the water.
