Your Village Gets A Well
A Likely Scenario:
- The walk for water that used to take everyone here three hours, now takes 15 minutes. And the water is safe to drink.
- A hygiene worker teaches your village the importance of sanitation. Your community builds latrines and sets up handwashing stations.
- You join the Water Committee to oversee your village’s new water source. As a woman, this is your first local leadership position.
- You use the extra time and new water source to start a vegetable garden and feed your family. You sell your extra food at the market.
- Your kids spend more time in school instead of walking for water. They graduate to become teachers, hygiene workers or business owners.
- A nearby village learns how water transformed your community. They petition for a well in their village, and the cycle starts again.
