Most Significant Change; MSC Story
As a grandmother living in Kanameriongor village
with 4 children all bellow the ages of 5 years, Itao Anna had no choice but to
use dirty water for her family. The sole water supply in her community during
rainy season caused diarrheal diseases including dysentery and typhoid.
This often prevented Itao’s four grandchildren from attending school, and much
of her meager income was spent on treatments for these preventable diseases.
When MAP International
through For One Another Foundation offered
water filters to the village, Napeyok learned about the benefits of drinking
clean water and maintaining good health in her home through sanitation and
hygiene.
After receiving the water
filter and have it installed in her household, she was amazed at the difference
between the dirty water poured into the filter and the clean water that flowed
out.
"Without the water
filter, people would have died one by one due to drinking and using dirty water
all the time," she said. Napeyok has seen a noticeable improvement in her
family's health. "I can now save more money than when I had to buy drugs
often. My grandchildren now attend school regularly."Thanks to donations
from For One Another Foundation, Brenda
and the Team also experienced the life -changing effects of the Water
Filter project in Kacheri project area. During the field visits one husband
-and - wife worked hard in their gardens to provide for their seven children,
but were forced to spend money treating water-related diseases.
The burden of chopping
and burning endless firewood to boil polluted, dirty water did not free their
family from disease, because utensils washed in dirty water often negated all
their efforts. Even their clothing could not be thoroughly cleaned because of
the dirty water.
They were amazed at the transformation in his
family's health after receiving a Water Filter."[Having clean water] was
only a dream before," he said.
