Harvesting water with earth and stone

Anna Mutungi and Susan Kalantine

Finding water is a daily struggle in rural Kenya. Anna Mutungi (left) and Susan Kalatine are among thousands of people whose only source of water is the sandy bed of this river on the eastern edge of Kenya's highlands. For more information on how sand dams are transforming life in arid areas of Kenya see the January/February 2006 edition of a Common Place.
