Overview

After graduating, Anita Nounyo was unable to find a job as a hydraulic engineer. To her father’s disappointment, she returns to her home village unemployed. There, Anita helps the local handyman Komlan to repair the well. She learns how the village community buys compost from the neighbouring community in exchange for part of their harvest. But the yields have been poor in recent years and people suffer from poverty. Anita develops a plan how both villages can help each other to get more water, more compost and more prosperity for everyone. If the plan worked out, maybe she could win back her father’s respect too....
