Description :
The idea is that the whole community participates as the RC team members explain how to do it, so that everyone can do it on one's own later on.
Many people are sick from drinking water from the polluted river. The ICRC has a program to distribute water tanks and material to gather rain water from the roofs of the people's houses.
Photo taken along the Colombian border, in Northern Ecuador, in an area where there is a high rate of Colombian refugees.
