Fishing camp on an island in Lake Upemba, upper Congo River Basin. Fishermen and their families usually spend several weeks every year in camps like this, in which the lake is the only source of water. Because there is no firewood in such areas, campaigns promoting the boiling of water are useless. (Photograph by Didier Bompangue.)
