Your Village Gets A Well

A Likely Scenario:

1. The walk for water that used to take everyone here three hours, now takes 15 minutes. And the water is safe to drink.
2. A hygiene worker teaches your village the importance of sanitation. Your community builds latrines and sets up handwashing stations.
3. You join the Water Committee to oversee your village’s new water source. As a woman, this is your first local leadership position.
4. 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.
5. Your kids spend more time in school instead of walking for water. They graduate to become teachers, hygiene workers or business owners.
6. A nearby village learns how water transformed your community. They petition for a well in their village, and the cycle starts again.
