How long would you stand in line for water? I hate lines. I hate waiting. But I would wait in line to get some safe clean water in Congo.
You get safe clean drinking water from a protected water source. So if there is a fence around the protected water source, would be it be a double-protected water source?
The water source was protected by a fence to control these Congolese girls. There are always lines of girls waiting on water. Sometimes as many as 50 girls were standing around waiting to get their container of safe clean water.
After getting the water, the girls walk back uphill to their village. The journey takes about an hour. And, the containers weigh close to 50 pounds.
