In march 2020, AMREF Health Africa launched a project , PIWA MALENG literally meaning ‘Our clean water” to improve access to water in Lamogi Sub-County, Amuru District.
I worked on this project with Amref Health Africa and The Candid Local as a photographer and film maker, we worked on photo stories and a short film about the water sources that were rehabilitated by Amref and how the access to clean water sources had improved the lives of the people of Amuru District.
