Description
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.
This video was part of a 2 year Participatory Video training programme which has led to the creation of a community run Peoples Video Hub - Bamb'umlilo ('Catch the fire') - in Inanda township and has developed Participatory Video capacity with local NGO partner; The Valley Trust. Long-term PV projects are now in place, community members are earning money through the hub activities and the ripples created by this first training continue to make waves locally!
