The tap in Matazu is dry. Maimuna is thirsty and the que is not moving.

In Matazu, the sun is bright and the water tap is dry. Every week, Maimuna and her mother walk to the community water point and wait their turn with all the other families. Today the wait is long. The sun is high. Maimuna’s throat is dry. She wants to go home. But Mama is patient. Water is worth waiting for.
