Safiya* didn’t understand why she and her three children kept suffering from bouts of sickness. Unknown to her, their ill health was caused mostly by bacteria in their contaminated water. Beyond the waterborne illnesses, her children were missing school to spend time and energy finding water for the family.
Safiya’s husband wasn’t around to help since the ongoing war in Yemen and lack of jobs force him to find work far from home. He is only able to be with the family a few times a year.
To help this struggling family, CAM contacts provided a system that collects rainwater from the roof and stores it in a tank. With the system’s water filter and teaching on proper hygiene, the sickness in the family diminished. Safiya testifies, “I had not seen happiness until I owned this water tank and had clean water available for my family.”
