Unity through water
Water is the most important element for mankind, which is why it serves such an essential, symbolic role in numerous faiths. The presence of water is pivotal for ablution before prayer in Islam, for blessings and Baptisms in Christianity, and for Animists to celebrate as an element of life. Our site in Tanaf, Senegal is stricken with drought, non-drinkable water, and a severe lack of resources to obtain clean, hygienic water. With this taken into account, we see water as a ritualistic substance that should be treated with a deep and tender respect, as well as a vital, life or death resource for the people of Tanaf, and it must function as both.
