Clean water from the well

In these remote rural villages, wells located in backyards around the village are vital water sources for the community. In the absence of an established institution or authority to manage the supply and delivery of clean water to households, the wells play an important role in overall village wellbeing.

Noticing that many of the wells, communal bathrooms, gutters and drains around Bicak and Ngunut were damaged, Rachel and Dan helped to repair three of them before heading back home. The three wells are located on property belonging to Pak Suratno, Joko and Pak Mardi in Ngunut and Mbah Alip in Bicak.
