Water Connections from the sky – 04 October 2022<\/h4>\n

From the sky, we get a better idea of the immense work accomplished by the Fair Future and Kawan Baik teams here in one of the poorest regions of Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Hello Kawan, how are you today?<\/p>\n

Through these few images taken from the sky, the Kawan Baik Indonesia<\/a> and Fair Future Foundation<\/a> teams show you what this big project, Water connections<\/a>, is all about\u2014clean water and sanitation facilities for over 250 families<\/strong> and over 2,500 people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But first, what does access to clean and safe water means to rural communities in East Sumba?<\/strong> Simply an everyday challenge, vital for tens of thousands of families here.<\/p>\n

Why Water Connections?<\/h4>\n

Here, the water points are very far from the houses. Sometimes you have to walk all night to return in the morning with a few litres of water (ref. Mbatakapidu, Laindatang<\/a>)<\/em>. Most of the time, the water is of unsanitary quality and the pumps, when there are any, are broken, clogged or broken down due to lack of maintenance.<\/p>\n

This is the inhabitants’ daily life where we have been at work for years. Improving access to clean and safe water (we are not talking about drinking water here, we are very far from it), <\/em>is often a priority for local populations and communities. But the people here are among the poorest in Asia, and the local authorities are broke. This is a verified fact that we have often discussed at length with the leaders in charge here.<\/p>\n

\n

Improving access to water reduces the time women fetch water away from home, frees up time for economic activities and schooling, and of course reduces disease and lowers child mortality due to to the consumption of dirty water. Clean water for a better life, to increase purchasing power, to have toilets and the possibility of having much better personal hygiene.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Several kilometres of pipes must be buried to supply all these installations with clean water. Access to the sites is also sometimes quite complicated because the roads do not exist, and transporting the material is often highly complex and expensive. Also, and to be completely precise, all the sanitary facilities or clean water tanks do not appear in these images taken on October 4th<\/strong>. In particular, three residential areas are missing. Indeed, the day we took these images, it started to rain very hard, and flying is no longer possible when it rains. Also missing from these Drone images are a few 3,000 and 6,500-liter tanks built in recent days and four toilets under construction.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us<\/a> by email via the foundation’s website. The people in charge of this project will be happy to answer you.<\/p>\n

We wish you a beautiful day wherever you are. Remember to take care of yourself and everyone you love. It is the most important. Rumah Kambera<\/a>, the 14.10.2022\/aw<\/p>\n
