Water is Life!

Water is Life! Pipe-borne water which should be a normal available resource for any country in the twenty-first century is a luxury to many Freetown residents. It is common to see children and sometimes adults who should otherwise be in school, doing their homework or gainfully occupied pushing home-made carts full of plastic containers (popularly known in Freetown as "5-gallon rubber"). As the population of Freetown swells faster than the infrastructural development, it is a wonder when this will be a thing of the past.
