Sumba is the region of Indonesia where access to water is the most difficult, a desperate situation for tens of thousands of families.
The source of the water crisis in Indonesia is not water scarcity but the lack of access to clean and affordable water.
The procedure for drilling the first well in Mbinudita as part of the Water Connections project. A work of Titan in insane conditions. Three weeks of life on site in the rain, working around the clock to reach a relatively deep water table since clean, clear and healthy water is found at a depth of just over 60m To get water, the inhabitants of the rural areas in which the Fair Future and Kawan Baik foundations develop and implement the “Water Connections” program have only one choice: Consume rainwater when it rains, or water available. Either water unfit for consumption, often stagnant for days, and of a colour that will not invite anyone to drink it or even cook it. So you have to go and find it deep in the ground. That’s what we do here in East Sumba.
