The Premiere of ‘Matawai the Shades of Water’ in Mbinudita.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ultra-rural <\/strong>village of Mbinudita <\/a>in East Sumba<\/strong> experienced a fantastic event: the premiere<\/strong> of our documentary “Matawai<\/strong>, the Shades of Water<\/a>“,<\/strong> with the participation of those featured in the film<\/strong>. This film delves into the significant challenges<\/strong> faced by the people of East Sumba regarding water access<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This projection<\/strong> occurred in the school<\/a> constructed by Fair Future<\/strong> in 2019 as part of our “Rebuild Mbinudita<\/a>” program. This ambitious initiative includes the Water Connections<\/a>, Primary Medical Care<\/a>, and Zero Malaria<\/a> programs. Through our efforts, we were able to build 40 <\/strong>water tanks<\/a>\u00a0and 30 Healthy<\/strong> sanitation<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>and drill two<\/strong> deep wells<\/a>, significantly enhancing<\/strong> the lives of this isolated<\/strong> community.<\/p>\n

The event wasn’t solely a film<\/a> screening but a lively community gathering<\/strong>. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation<\/strong> and excitement. Villagers of all ages<\/strong> gathered, eager to see their stories<\/strong> unfold on the big screen. Their reactions varied from tears to smiles<\/strong>, reflecting their deep connection<\/strong> to the story. For all, this was the first time<\/strong> their lives had been portrayed<\/strong> in a film<\/a>, and their struggles and triumphs<\/strong> were acknowledged and celebrated.<\/p>\n

“-For the first time in my life, I see my grandchildren playing with water, drinking without fear of getting sick…” \u2014 Pak Rinto, famer in Mbinudita<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Moments of\u00a0collective reflection<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0engagement<\/strong> occurred during the\u00a0documentary’s<\/a>\u00a0screening at our school in\u00a0Mbinudita<\/a>. The villagers asked questions<\/strong>, shared their experiences<\/strong>, and even proposed solutions<\/strong> to their challenges. Kids like Yaspan<\/strong>, Gita<\/strong>, Edon<\/strong>, and others were present, and\u00a0seeing\u00a0them see themselves<\/strong>\u00a0through\u00a0this film<\/a>,\u00a0Matawai, was touching<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

During the screening<\/strong> of the documentary “Matawai, the Shades of Water<\/a>“, they highlighted the resilience<\/strong> and determination<\/strong> of the community to improve their own living conditions. Things have changed a lot here since 2019.<\/strong> Today, more than 2,500 people<\/strong> have access to clean water<\/a>, healthy sanitation and a better life thanks to water<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the most moving stories in the film<\/a> is that of Bapak Rinto<\/strong>, an elder with whom we work on many of our Water Connections<\/a> projects. His poignant account of the impact<\/strong> of new water sources<\/a> moved many people. \u201cFor the first time in my life, I see my grandchildren playing with water, drinking without fear of getting sick in my village<\/a>,\u201d<\/em> he said. Like many others in Mbinudita<\/a>, his words highlighted<\/strong> the vital importance of access to clean water.<\/a><\/p>\n
