Oxfam is installing a water tank so Sylvia no longer has to walk down steep tracks to collect water for her family. Donsiro village, Bougainville |
Sylvia Miorira lives in Donsiro village, in Central Bougainville. Like 80% of her country, she does not have access to clean water. She walks for many hours each week down steep tracks, and then home again with a 30-litre jerry can of water strapped to her back. The journey is backbreaking and dangerous. “It’s very slippery when it rains,” she tells us.
And even with the water home safely, it’s not always clean. Her four-year old son, Georgefree, is often sick with life-threatening, water-borne diseases like diarrhoea.
With support from people like you, we can keep children like Georgefree safe. Oxfam is installing water tanks and tap stands in Sylvia’s village, and most importantly, building toilets to stop the spread of disease.
