Women in Burkina Faso are excited to see the new power mill that Peace Corps Volunteer Brook Abitz helped the local women’s association fund for the community. 

Two Volunteers are helping communities across Senegal install 52 water pumps over the course of a year. In August, they began installing the “rope pumps,” which use a simple, appropriate technology that accelerates the process of pulling water out of wells. The pumps also relieve congestion around wells in local villages and give people access to more water.
