Description
Summary:	During the long, dry season in the south of Togo, West Africa, a woman's day began at 1:00 am with an eight-hour trek for water. Unknown to her, the water so arduously collected was contaminated. Water for Tonoumasse shows the efforts of a group of villagers to get clean water by drilling a well nearby. It chronicles the success of this project in which the women played a key role. To the surprize of the village men, the women were capable of making decisions, handling money, and learning the mechanics of keeping a pump in working order. We share their joy as they celebrate when water pours forth.
