Caroline's Story
Caroline is just 10 years old. She lives with her Mum and her younger brothers and sister in a small village in Uganda, surrounded by beautiful crater lakes.
Her family used to rely on the lakes for fish and water. But the lakes are very dangerous – they contain bilharzia, a waterborne parasite, which if left untreated can lead to life-threatening illnesses.
