FEATURE-Kenyan women pay the price for slum water "mafias" A Kenyan woman carries water in Nairobi's Kibera slum after queuing for hours to reach the water tap, Nov 13, 2014.
Women are hardest hit by water shortages in the Kenyan capital where supplies are controlled by "mafias" which freely hike up prices. Katy Migiro/Thomson Reuters Foundation. By Katy Migiro and Magdalena Mis NAIROBI/LONDON, Nov 26 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Rising before dawn, the women emerged from their ramshackle shacks and squelched through the mud to stand in line for water in Kibera, Nairobi's biggest slum. Seven hours later, bullet-grey skies drizzled on and off, but the women stuck by their yellow jerrycans in the glutinous mud, awaiting their turn at the precious water tap.
"Water is life," said Judith Makhoha, a mother of three, who was buying 200 litres of water to do her laundry. Only half of Nairobi's three million residents have piped water in their homes, according to the government-owned Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC).

Pourquoi ce "think tank" est-il intervenu une semaine après le G20 ? Le monde traverse un moment clé de son histoire, l'euro une crise existentielle. Or, si l'Europe ne parvient pas à sauver l'euro, elle va entraîner l'économie mondiale dans la récession. Dans les pays de l'OCDE, le chômage avoisine les 10% en moyenne ; en Espagne, près d'un jeune sur deux est sans emploi, la Grèce suit la même tendance, alors que la France et le Portugal sont autour de 20%. Comment notre système qui, pourtant, génère énormément de richesse, en est-il arrivé là ? Que pensez-vous de la taxe sur les transactions financières ? Elle est totalement légitime ; reste à savoir pour quelle utilisation.

Since the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals, the world has faced a test of its resolve to help the poorest of the poor. We have achieved significant progress in addressing poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease and environmental degradation. But gains are fragile, and both the global economic climate and climate change are making an already hard job even more challenging.
