In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.

What is this audio podcast about? Little Darma tells us about his life as a ten-year-old child, his problems also sitting in the grass, in front of a wooden house. He speaks to us from the village of Pepuatu, very isolated and very difficult to access. Darma, 10 years old, tells us about her life in her village, which is isolated from a lot of things. When we ask him if he is in good health, he replies that no, he is sick. What are the kid's dreams? To have water, electricity and a road to access his village. A touching testimony of this child is Sumba East. He tells us about the hardness of his life, of his dreams too. He cannot walk too much, because he is not in very good health, and the appropriate medical care is not accessible, the village chief will tell us later. Thank you so much for your interest Kawan.
