The Girls

Photo of women (Fati on the left, Maymouna on the right) and children inside a traditional Fulani straw hut

Calabashes holding milk, food, and other goods hang from the ceiling in the back of the hut. A handmade clay pot holding drinking water sits on the ground under the calabashes. The clay pot naturally keeps the water cool, despite the African heat.
