Most of the small talk in my village, especially in the dry season, revolves around water problems. When all of the water taps are broken we must haul water from the river. I am lucky to live only half a kilometer away. Few of the villagers have this advantage. Many women spend several hours a day just making the trip to the nearest stream to get water for household use. With a single primary school serving an area that takes 2 or 3 hours to traverse, children are forced to spend sunrise to sunset away from home. I often see these children drinking from the streams they cross on their way home, where floating cowpies decorate the streambeds. Often villagers spend all day at their farms, rarely returning home for a safe glass of boiled water. Diarrhea is one of the most common complaints at the mission hospital (where 1 health-care worker is responsible for an area of about 10,000 people), most likely as a result of a poor source of drinking water. Most villagers cite the lack of a reliable source of water as one of their major challenges. The proposed project aims to provide at least 6 functioning public water taps.
