In the Midda region, people often have to walk many hours in order to have access to a source of water and the walk from the plateau into the valley is usually steep. It is mostly the women and the children who have to go on this laborious march which often takes seven to eight hours every day. We helped to install the solar-powered water pumping system in the village of Rema, where the women and children now no longer need to travel the difficult path into the valley for precious water. The time they save is important: The children now have time, for example, to go to school during the day.
