Water for Tonoumassé
In the south of Togo in West Africa, women spend up to 8 hours a day walking to and from the nearest river for their daily supply of water. Unknown to these women, the river water is contaminated and the source of debilitating water-born diseases. This video documents a project which is bringing potable water to 165 villages throughout Togo.
