Doing washing in a stream near a Maasai village, Tanzania. In the dry countryside of Tanzania, women and children often have to travel long distances to bring water for their family's needs. This village is lucky to have a stream within 200yds (200m). But this stream is used for all of the community?s needs, including drinking water and washing.
