Share & SaveMore Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesCurrently, women and children are having to walk down steep and dangerous hillsides in order to collect water. This task has significantly reduced the villager's standard of living. Yet there is a solution to the problem. AIDFI, a local NGO, in partnership with Green Empowerment, is able to deliver water to these communities using a ram pump, which will allow for the community members to spend their time doing other productive activities. This will take the burden off both women and children. ActivitiesDonations will go towards the first project that needs funding on the list (see the update Excel Spreadsheet), which is currently Nangka and Minaluha. Once this project has been funded, the next project on the list will be the succeeding recipient.
