Despite the presence of mesh filters available to people who come get water, cases of guinea worm in the area have gone up sharply in the recent months.

  • Fishermen stand on their boats while cleaning nets under the towering former slave fort of Cape Coast castle in Cape Coast, roughly 120km west of Ghana's capital Accra on Thursday April 9, 2009. Cape Coast's slave-trading days may be long gone but the town is no stranger to modern exploitation. Pirate fishing vessels and illegally-operating foreign trawlers are raping the seas, stealing the town's biggest commodity - its fish.

  • David Amuzu, 12, sits among his classmates school in the town of Amasaman, Ghana on Thursday January 17, 2008. "I can't see what the teacher is writing on the blackboard", he says. The pigment that gives skin its color - called melanin - is also a key element in the development of the eye. Because of the absence of melanin, most people with albinism have poor eyesight, especially from a distance.

  • Rafael Yeboah, 13, waits to fill his plastic containers with water from a tap in a poor neighborhood of Accra, Ghana's capital, on Monday Mar 5, 2007. Only when Rafael will have finished transporting the water home will he be able to head to school. 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.

Amelie looks after a friend's children while she's gone to the market.

  • Nyazaba Njabiya, 35, and her seven children in the classroom where they have lived for the past month at the Angalisho adventist primary school in Goma, Eastern DRC, on Sunday December 14, 2008. They came from Kibuma, 27km away, on the Rwandan border. Every morning, they vacate the classroom to allow children to attend school, and come back in the afternoon. "We have no food, no water. Where we sleep, its very difficult," says Njabiya, adding that they can't go home because the rebels are still occupying their village. They walk 3km every day to fetch water from lake Kivu for their daily needs.
