A resident carries water taken from an underground well in Rama Cay Island in the Blue Fields Lagoon in the South Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS) of Nicaragua. The Rama are indigenous descendants and one of the several ethnicities who represent 9% of the whole Nicaragua population, living in the rural areas of RAAS and RAAN, mostly in condition of extreme poverty. Their number is approximately 900 and they live within a thirty mile radius of the Rama Cay Island in the Blue Fields Lagoon. Although UNICEF, as part of UN Joint Program on good Governance and WASH, supported the community in order to improve access to drinking water and sanitation by renovating underground wells, the wells with tested drinking water are only three. The other wells have not safe water and are used for other purposes such as washing clothes or cleaning.
