Not everyone in my village has access to running water. The Catholic Diocese has financed many bore holes for the local communities but they can’t supply water to everyone.
This morning as I was driving to the village to audit the local Catholic Church I saw women and children on the side of the road using the water that was gathered to wash pots, clothes and their children.
These women and children are part of the Fulani tribe. Fulani’s are a nomadic tribe; however, those here in Damongo have built huts and seem to have settled here.
When I got out of my pick-up truck they were more than happy to welcome me and let me take pictures.
It is sad to know that 1/2 of the cases of Typhoid fever in Ghana is contracted by children under the age of 15; this is a good reason why.
May God bless them and their mothers who do the best they can with what they have.
