The hero of the community - Mary’s story

Mary tells her story of the impact of water on her life and what it means to have convenient clean water, near her village home.

Ian’s rough Pidgin translation!

Since I was born until now, it’s been hard to collect water.

I go to the river and carry the water in buckets back to the garden (to grow food).

I get the water, come back, and repeat, even into the night.

It’s really difficult for me.

In the wet season, the river runs very dirty. And I can’t use it.

It’s a big problem. For my whole life.

We have had nobody to help with the water supply.

So I would love if you can come and help us with the water supply
