The water situation in the village of Betuwetu Ndowera was very difficult, with many women having to draw water from a river near the village. They had been drinking contaminated water because waste often flows into the river. The villagers are now very happy to have a pump in the village for the first time.

Most of the people live below the poverty line and in poor housing conditions.
