Lovina is a mother of 6 children, her youngest child is only 10 months old. Lovina walks 4 kms (about 2.5 miles) from her home down hill to collect water for her family. The most tedious part is that she has to come back uphill with 20 ltrs of water on her head and the baby on her back. No wonder Lovina is always complaining of severe back pain and she is worried that she may soon be bed ridden. (pictured)
