Mawa, Indonesia

The Mawa Village has never had access to water in their village before.  For decades, they have had to either hike 30 minutes to a spring to do their washing or gather water for cooking.  During dry times, they have had to purchase water from outside. This has led to obvious hygiene-related problems, and also economic problems.

As we are doing Transformational Community Development (TCD) in two places, we saw a great change among villagers in different ways. Children’s education is improving, family development has improved, money is being saved, and living standards have changed.

This has been an exciting quarter for Mawa Village. The long drought was a blessing in disguise as it gave the community time to finish phase one of the water project, constructing a tank at the spring source, without too much interference from high water levels.  After the committee encountered some minor community disputes, key people from the community stepped in to make sure that the water project would continue.
