She lives in a village in far western Nepal

Each day she walks for hours to the nearest river to collect water

There is not enough water to drink and to grow crops

How would you make this difficult choice?

What do you think you would do?

Practical Action Reg. Charity No. 247257

Sita May and her family drink a little and use a little for their crops

What happens if you don’t water plants enough?

Practical Action Reg. Charity No. 247257

The crops don’t get enough water so they don’t grow very big

Practical Action Reg. Charity No. 247257

Practical Action used pipes to take water from high in the mountains

Practical Action Reg. Charity No. 247257

The pipes took the water to big storage tanks

Now Sita Maya and her family can get water from taps in the village

Practical Action Reg. Charity No. 247257

They have enough to drink and to water crops

Practical Action Reg. Charity No. 247257

Sita Maya no longer has to walk for hours and has more time for school and friends
