Caption: USAID partner, Save the Children, is working with community leaders to identify projects, both large and small, that will benefit the local community, including the Bab Taweel water project in the Abu Khaseeb district of Basra, Iraq. Iraqi laborers are building a wall around the equipment and a guard house to protect it from looters. When completed this pumping station will increase water pressure to approximately 15,000 local residents. The project was funded by community contributions ($11,000) and a grant from USAID ($29,000).
