In the Nabilatuk district of Uganda, Ariamaoi Village is home to 3,788 residents who face numerous hardships due to their reliance on unsafe water. To access water, villagers must dig into the riverbed and wait for the sand to settle. This arduous process exposes them to a multitude of dangers and challenges. The residents of Ariamaoi Village face extensive risks while fetching water, including encounters with snakes, wild animals, and thieves. Women and girls are particularly vulnerable to crowding and rape. The water sources are heavily contaminated, shared with wildlife, and expose the community to waterborne illnesses such as typhoid, diarrhea, brucellosis, cholera, and skin rashes. Digging too deep can cause holes to collapse, posing additional physical dangers. Moreover, the lack of proper sanitation and open defecation exacerbates the contamination of their water sources. Carrying heavy jerrycans over long distances further strains the community, leading to physical exhaustion and additional health issues such as stomach pain and severe diarrhea.
In Mayo Sahel Village, Cameroon, 2,621 people depend on unsafe water for drinking, cooking, and washing. Women and girls spend 30 minutes each day carrying heavy buckets from distant sources, but the water is still not enough to meet their needs. The journey to collect it is dangerous—women risk snake bites, long waits of up to 10 hours for a single 25-liter container, and even kidnappings near the water source. Fights often break out at overcrowded collection points, and last year alone, over 600 people suffered from typhoid. The community urgently needs access to clean water to ensure their safety, health, and dignity.
