Mwanambaya, Tanzania

In this village of Mwanambaya we met Pastor Anset Kategile at the Tanzania Assemblies of God Church. The village consists of 2,000 people. In the dry season or drought, the people walk 8 hours (round-trip) to get water from a shallow well of 100 feet.  The well water is still dirty and not drinkable and has to be boiled before drinking.

When I took this picture a Muslim Woman at the pump said to me, "Bwana Asifiwe and Asante Sana".  In English this is, Praise the Lord and Thank You very much.  This well will be a great blessing to the villagers.

There were many buckets to fill, however the water pumped very easily.
