I am now living comfortably with the water access provided by BWW. I can still remember before BWW came. Getting water was very hard for me. I’m already old that’s why it’s so hard for me to fetch water. My daughter felt sorry for me because of my age – she didn’t want me to carry buckets of water from the hand pump anymore. So, our family decided to be connected with water from BWW. Getting water is no longer a daily struggle for me because it’s just inside our house. I have now water access. I am very happy and satisfied now because we are sure that we are consuming cheap and safe water. Rosalina

Talking with my mom and BWW’s outreach workers reassured me a lot about my body. Esha

Esha and her family had some apprehension about women’s periods. Her mother would not let her out of the house during menstruation, forbidding her to engage in any activity and communicate with others. After participating in an awareness session together, Esha’s mother confessed that she had a better understanding of the phenomenon and no longer wanted to impose these restrictions on her daughter.

I used to have to hurry to line up at the well to collect water, carrying my Kolshi (jars of water). To have enough water for my family, I had to fill two of them, but this could lead to tensions or quarrels with neighbours who were also waiting to collect water.

Now I don’t have to worry about fetching water anymore. There are fewer diseases like diarrhoea in my family. Nurbanu
