They must share the available water sources with neighboring villages, resulting in fighting between village men & women who are desperate to provide water for their families ActivitiesThe project consists of putting in a new deep tubewell with hand-pump and drainage system and pit latrines for each household. Project also includes health education, community development and technical training.
