Skin infections are not cosmetic. In ultra rural areas, small cuts, insect bites, or scratched skin can quickly become dangerous infections. Heat, dirty water, and delayed care increase the risk. Early cleaning and simple prevention save lives every day in the field.
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.
