Supporting People Accessing Reliable Clean Liquid Essentials (S.P.A.R.K.L.E)

Helping the Underprivileged Community

During our site visit to the village and subsequent discussion with the village leader, it became evident that they frequently encounter issues with leaking water pipes. These leaks pose challenges in distributing water from the storage area to every household in the village. The deterioration of the pipes necessitates their replacement to ensure smooth daily operations for all residents. Consequently, they are compelled to restrict water usage based on a predefined schedule due to these issues. Despite the village head bringing this issue to the attention of the relevant authorities, sadly, no action has been taken and there has been no update on the matter.

Community members' quality of life and health outcomes will both immediately benefit from this.

This entails encouraging water-saving habits among locals and minimising water leakage from broken pipes.
