Water Problems




Workers fixing a nearby road damaged a pipe which supplied water to homes in the area. After nearly two weeks without water the children, house mother, Jyoti, and volunteers Tess, Maya and Amanda walked to a stream to collect water, bathe and do laundry.


After our hours the children had showered in the freezing cold mountain water and nearly all the laundry had been completed. The children will need to collect water in the mountains everyday until the water supply is restored. It is unsure when this will happen.
