According to government data presented at the 26 June Development Partner Consultation in Brussels, only 31.5 percent of the population in urban areas and 26.0 percent in rural areas of the Central African Republic have access to safe drinking water (2006). More than 69 percent of Central Africans lack adequate hygiene facilities.
Photographer Pierre Holtz documented in Vakaga what it means when people do not have access to safe drinking water.
