"There's nothing I can do, I have to drink." Says Jonathan vice principal from Domboshawa Primary School in Zimbabwe.

"So that's your spring then?"

"Yes it's the spring, but look..."

"It's not protected" I add.

"These are the footprints of the animals they've also been drinking. The headmaster has been drinking from the same water source as the animals. It's is only God who is having our lives....things are not okay. All the kids, all the community, they get their water from here" reflects Jonathan.

Domboshawa Primary school is over 100 years old and is perched on a granite hill in Zimbabwe. With no immediate access to water children have to walk every morning to fetch water from this unprotected source. "If a waterborne disease were to infect this spring, 3/4 of the school could get sick".
