An all too familiar sight. Rarely will you see men carrying water, and never on their backs like this. Work is still heavily separated from what I've seen here in the DRC as well as in Kenya. Men tend to focus their efforts outside the home on "business" or bringing in money. Women take care of everything home-oriented, from taking care of the children to gathering water and firewood and more. Ironically, with so few jobs that pay, you see women doing a great amount of work, while a lot of men standing or sitting around talking. I hope when are able to find self worth in good, hard work... Even if it doesn't pay.
