A herdsmen carries a troft to find a new hole with water for his animals in Bouli Lewe on May 1, 2024. The small village of Bouli Lewe in the North East of Senegal is home to a few hundred herders. Like many of the villages in this region of Senegal there is no access to running water, whether it is the raining season or the dry season. Families must dig large holes in the low lying areas to access ground water for drinking, cleaning and for their animals. Temperatures during the long dry season average around 40 degrees with some days reaching 50. With no running water families are not able to grow crops and must collect and water two times a day for them selves and their animals. (Photo by JOHN WESSELS / AFP)
