Children from a nearby settlement called Kalikiliki swim in a pond that formed from standing water in Ibex Hill, a suburb in Lusaka, Zambia. The children say they have no other recreational facilities, so they play here, despite the dangers of standing water, which could include diseases such as bilharzia, an infection caused by parasitic worms.
