Story + Gallery

The residents of Nyori have relied on the Nile water for generations; they've never had a borehole. Waterborne diseases are common here, especially in the Summer season. When the river floods in Summer, the water becomes cloudy. Cases of typhoid, diarrhea and other epidemics including cholera blossom, causing related problems like a drop in school attendance or the time to work and farm. 

You probably look forward to the Summer every year. Can you imagine if Summer were the season in which you and everyone you know gets sick?
