ROPE Pics: rope pump or stamp (**If using rope pump - Vicki Worley assists WaterAid's rope pump artisan, Martin, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Credit: WaterAid/Suzanne Porter and stamp pic, credit: WaterAid/Lisa Martin) oOne of our first stops was Bayandi Nab-Yiri village where we helped install a sealed rope pump because the villagers were collecting water from an open bore hole.
