A man fills plastic containers with water from a tap in a poor neighborhood of Accra, Ghana's capital, on Monday Mar 5, 2007. Most parts of the city are plagued with intermittent water shortages, and people buy water from the few running taps. They then have to carry the containers to their homes over distances that often reach several hundred meters. Meanwhile, Ghana is preparing to celebrate its 50 years of independence from the UK on March 6th.
