Girl at a new pump, Logar, Afghanistan. Photo: Matthew Herrick, Chemonics, Inc.
Original description at usaid.gov:
A young girl from Kulangar in rural Logar gets water from a new hand-pumped well. Before the installation of the well, she and the rest of her family and neighbors got water from a nearby stream that was covered with a green film. Beneath the surface, thousands of white worms writhed. A water shortage forces many to settle for streams, canals and standing pools that cause severe sickness and even death. Hand-pumped wells like this provide families across Afghanistan with clean drinking water for their homes and help prevent illnesses caused by poor sanitation.
