Girl gets water at Fiarenana’s communal well

In Fiarenana the communal water well is a 10 minute walk from the village. Women and children are currently carrying the water in buckets back home. Getting to the water level with a bucket is best described as precarious. Contaminants in the water are a problem and the rate of diarrhea and other water borne diseases among children is high.
