| Abstract | The film describes how governments and international organisations are helping to bring clean water to rural areas in developing countries. Lack of capital, and lack of knowledge, particularly about elementary hygiene, are major problems. Education forms a vital part of the operation. The film was shot in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Nepal, and shows how village communities built their own pumping systems. |
