Water Porter

Across our region you will see teenage girls and young women fetching water from bore holes dotted across the landscape; they will pump litres and litres into huge metal bowls that they will then carry home on their heads to their families for cooking and washing.

All fabrics are 100% carbon-neutral cotton, grown under the 'Cotton made in Africa' initiative administered by the Aid for Trade Foundation, headquartered in Hamburg. All our fabrics have passed 40,000 rubs on the Martindale test, and have passed the UK flammability ‘cigarette test’ (BS5852:Part 1:1979:Source 0).
