Clean Water in Mauritania
The whole story
Water rights have recently changed in this region. Water that used to be free now has to be bought, and the families we spent time with are being pressured to pay for something they've always had.
What they get isn't safe. The wells are dug by hand. At school, students drink from jerry cans. None of the water is filtered.
Funds donated to this project go directly to water access and cleanliness for this community.
