Water for Africa

“Children...would Have to Wander Into Snake- Infested Fields Behind the School in Order to Relieve Themselves.”

Armed with her iPhone, Lara Wineman traveled throughout Africa alongside the nonprofit African Well Fund, which is working to bring clean water to schools. Lara used Hipstamatic to document her journeys.

She worked to build latrines and wells to improve access to water for students in countries like Liberia, Ghana, Uganda, Rwanda. Without new wells and latrines, many children won’t attend school because they must wander into snake-infested fields to relieve themselves, and the only water was from a dirty stream miles down the road.
