The photostory for 'Waiting For Water' tells the story behind the creation of this short but powerful film that provided the tool for an advocacy drive to bring water access to an entire community.
When people living near the small tea estate in Inanda saw water pipes being laid in October 2004, they were overjoyed. Standpipes would soon be spouting water, they were told…but they waited in vain. Three years later, Inanda residents planned, directed and filmed 'Waiting for Water' as a local lobbying tool...and the impacts were immediate.
