Story
In Rubani, the closest clean water sources are more than a three-kilometer (1.86 miles) walk away. When community members finally arrive at either of the borehole wells available to them, they often find them overcrowded, which means waiting in line for their turn to fill their jerrycans. These wells serve not just the people of Rubani, but the people of several surrounding communities - an estimated total of 1,000 people. But after all that time spent walking to the water source, community members have no choice but to stand and wait their turn, wasting time. Because acquiring water takes such a long time, people get less of it. Without water to do essential daily tasks, people’s normal routines are disrupted, and important things like working and going to school are challenging. In fact, it would be difficult to find an aspect of life that isn't affected by this community's water crisis. The people of Rubani need their own water source closer to home so that they can spend time doing what they need to live healthy, happy lives. Note: Our proposed water point can only serve 300 people per day. We are working with the community to identify other water solutions that will ensure all 450 people in the community to safe water.
