Flora's Story

Flora is used to walking long distances for water. As the head of a household of 8 family members, it is her responsibility to collect water for the family every day.

That all changed last year when Samaritan’s Purse came to her village in Chicualacuala District to repair a disused borehole and train villagers to keep it running. Now that the pump is working, Flora has double blessings.

"This water from the pump is helping me a lot, not only because it is clean, but because it is very close to my home," she explains. "When the pump was not working, I had to walk a long distance to the river to collect water that was dirty".

What’s more, Flora has joined the village water committee and even worked with her neighbours to erect a fence around the pump and ensure it’s working for all families in the village who no longer have to walk long distances for dirty water.
