Women carry jerry cans of water at the Plage du Peuple, north Kivu, eastern DRC, 13 September 2006. Following a cholera outbreak in Goma earlier this year, UNICEF and OXFAM set up a project to provide people with safe chlorinated drinking water, which is pumped out of lake-Kivu into large bladders. This water is then chlorinated and is available for people to collect. Cases of cholera have significantly reduced since the beginning of the project.
