Changing lives in the village of Fiarenana

Children enjoying their breakfast of rice

Most villagers in Madagascar can only afford two meals a day. These children are lucky because their parents were able to give them a plate of rice from the previous night's dinner.

In Fiarenana the communal water well is a 10 minute walk from the village. Women and children are currently carrying the water in buckets back home. Getting to the water level with a bucket is best described as precarious. Contaminants in the water are a problem and the rate of diarrhea and other water borne diseases among children is high.

Fiadanana’s 2005 water supply

Until 2005 the village of Fiadanana got all their water from two ground holes like this one and a nearby stream. Since the community built their own clean water system, diarrhea among children has come down to virtually zero. Seven communal water faucets throughout the village now give easy access to safe water to over 1000 people.
