Entry 2: Woman with fuel drum on her head

 

The northern part of the country is very poor. Most peoples main source of income comes from farming. The south is richer in agricultural resources, whereas the drought in the north makes farming more and more difficult. The photograph gives an idea of the dryness here. Water is a serious problem, and women carry water on their heads for miles. Here, the girl is carrying an old fuel drum, which is what most people use in their homes to store water.
