Project brings clean water to Botswana village

GABORONE — Mmabaledi Tebalo, of the village of Mokobaxane, Boteti region in northern Botswana, along with his mother and brothers, sought shelter from the blazing sun under the shade of a tree. Tebalo, 28, turned on a faucet in a corner of his backyard before clear tap water flowed from the spigot. He first washed his face and then cupped a fistful of water to drink directly.

"The old water was salty, but now it is sweet," he said.
