Mawa, Indonesia

This quarter in Mawa saw continuing progress in the provision of clean water for 48 families in the community. The Transformational Community Development (TCD) training team began to explore potential in the area of programmes for children. The team accompanied the TCD Water Committee in their meetings and is encouraged by their ability to function independently.

Last quarter was better than the previous. Due to lockdowns and the monsoon, some work had been left incomplete. We have completed those works and begun to complete the last quarterly plans as well. 

This quarter we completed the tube well installation work. We installed a name plate and laid a cement floor. People are happy to get clean water for their daily use.
