Un nouveau réservoir rapproche l’eau de la journée scolaire
Huit écoliers se trouvent à côté d’un réservoir nouvellement construit dans l’est de Sumba. Leur école n’avait auparavant ni eau ni toilettes. Amener de l’eau à portée de main permet de rendre possible l’hygiène quotidienne ; la protection de l’eau stockée, l’entretien et l’éducation pratique restent des éléments essentiels du travail.
Eight children in school uniform stand side by side before a newly completed, still unpainted reservoir in East Sumba. Their school previously had neither water nor toilets and still has no electricity.
Water within reach makes ordinary school-day tasks more feasible: washing hands, cleaning utensils and handling food. Stored water must also be protected from contamination and treated when needed before drinking. Practical education and maintenance are part of making the infrastructure useful.
Through Water Connections, Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia link reservoirs with daily health needs. Our new photograph shows the children behind this work, while dozens more reservoirs remain needed.
