MBABANE, Oct 28 (IPS) - In the drought-stricken area of Siteki, Tibuyile
Maziya has been trying to fill up her four 20-litre buckets with
water at a community for the last four hours.

With a baby on
her back and two more buckets to fill up, 19-year-old Maziya says
she walks to this well at least three times a week to get water
for her family of 15.
