The roads to this area have very steep hills, are narrow and dangerous, OK for walking and that’s what our team does.
 
They are totally neglected and never had clean water, or a pump.
 
Government agencies never reach them and naturally the sparkling white 4x4’s of the Aid Business rarely leave the tarmac anyway , would certainly not reach Pwechi.
 

I suppose we are proud that we make the effort for the poorest and most marginalized.
