Lumban Rau Barat: from 500 to more than 1,500 people

Lumban Rau Barat is one of the villages where we built a safe water system together with residents. When it was first finished, the system reached about 500 people.

The community took it further

Later on the network was extended, and the residents paid for it themselves. More than 1,500 people in Lumban Rau Barat now have safe water, three times the original reach.

For us, that means a great deal. People don't put their own money into expanding something they don't trust. The residents of Lumban Rau Barat see the water system as theirs, so the water keeps reaching new families long after the first construction was done.

Your support builds the first system in villages like Lumban Rau Barat. After that, the residents carry it further themselves.
