In Ayama, Nigeria, a young female operates a manual well pump

In Ayama, Nigeria, a young female operates a manual well pump. She wears a light green hijab over a mustard yellow garment, with one foot bare and the other in a light blue slipper. Her hands firmly grasp the silver-grey metal pump handle. The pump's base is stabilized by straps attached to a stack of three worn black car tires, with a visible rock inside the topmost tire. The immediate ground consists of dry, light brown earth. A textured wall of light brown concrete blocks or bricks forms the background, showing signs of age and minor surface markings.
