Segueda spends nine hours a day not earning a living.

In Burkina Faso in West Africa, Segueda Zouga (pictured right) has no choice but to spend her days collecting dirty water from a hole and her nights worrying about the safety of the water. Segueda explains:

"Water is the overwhelming problem in my life and in the lives of the other families in this village. All day I think about nothing else. At night I go to sleep worrying about fetching water and about what will happen if there is no water for us to fetch tomorrow."
