Angwan Pah II (N22-W230)

The residents of Angwan Pah draw water from a stream, where the risk of exposure to waterborne diseases and snake attacks is high. Women often start walking to fetch water before sunrise, and in the dry season, they would walk over two kilometers, often with babies on their backs.

After these treks to collect water, women and girls were left with little time to complete household chores, attend school, work, or even rest. Lack of safe water meant an increase in illnesses for many in the community.

With water readily available, households have more time for other activities, everyone is healthier, and their chances at life are positively enhanced.
