"Pumping the water from the tube well can be difficult. It was hard, my hands and hips would ache."
"Water, water everywhere, Nor any a drop to drink."
"My wife and oldest child spend hours on Saturdays, and sometimes the whole day, in the spring, washing clothes. They have to wait there for the clothes to dry since they are too heavy to carry when they are wet."
"We face so many challenges, my children have not really had the time to play and simply be children
"When I think of having water, it is like a dream," he says. "My children would not have to wake up at 4 am to collect water before school. Washing clothes can be done at home. My cows will have enough to drink, which may even increase their milk production. We will also have more time to work on the farm."
"Sometime back before this good water came, people used to have diarrhea all the time, malaria, and other sicknesses,"
We would at times fall sick, and whenever there were prolonged periods of drought, we would be fatigued from walking long distance
