WaterAid | Digging the future

People pull together to provide time, labour and resources to improve the health of the community.

With WaterAid's help, people can overcome their community's problem of unsafe water sources. In Tambala, in Monze, a safe water source was needed because scores of children in the village were getting sick with bilharzia from worms that penetrated their skin while collecting water from a local, contaminated stream.

Robby Machindu [above] was one of the team who helped build a better future for the children of Tambala: "The problems with getting water for the community inspired me to volunteer to be part of the digging team," he said.
