Sita lives in Tienfala village, Mali. Every day she collects water for her family. Since the new taps were built in her village, her life has changed: “Before I had to throw a bucket down a hole to collect water and then pull it up. The rope hurt my hands and it was tiring. Now it’s much easier to collect and the water is much cleaner.”
