Fulani at their well, Niger West Africa - March 2006

Drawing water the old tried and true way, by hand. No modern inventions here, other than the 40 year old cement well itself.

Every day these Fulani people pull water from the well for themselves and their cattle and flocks.

Younger people do most of the work as the older ones have arthritis.

You are correct its a 70 foot well. They need solar pumps, etc. Can you help?

[Darkness8Random]

by "help", you mean money dont you?

[sandyleeder]

Money can help. I get phone calls asking for food money, as food is scarce, just before a meager harvest. I can give you a name, and phone number of the people in the video and you can send money via western union to them. write me.
