The Struggle for Water is Real
Sheikh Mohammad, 69, his wife, four children, two daughters-in-laws, and seven grandchildren live in a water-deprived village in Niger where the struggle for water is real.
Though the water crisis had been prevalent for many years, Mohammad admits the water situation has gotten worse over the years with the growing number of villagers.
In summer, women get up early walking long distances and lining up to fetch water, spending more than eight hours every day. This gives them little time to spend with their families. The water they consume is unhealthy leading to water-borne diseases. But villagers don’t have a choice; there is no other water source nearby.
Mohammad's son, Ousman, hopes to install a borehole in the village, allowing him to grow vegetables and start his business. But until then, all his dreams are at a halt. And the lives of villagers at stake.
