About
During times of natural disasters, plague, and war reliable sources of water can become contaminated by runoff containing bacteria or human and animal feces resulting in deadly typhoid and cholera which spread quickly. Here, a wounded woman collects raindrops while trying to survive the genocide in Rwanda in 1994.
