The burden of thirst
Millions of women carry water long distances. If they had a tap by their door, who/e societies
would be transformed.
by Tina Rosenberg
A
B
C
Aylito Binayo's feet know the mountain. Even at four in the morning, she can run down
therocks to the river by starlight alone and climb the steep mountain back up to her village
with a container of water on her back. She has made this journey three times a day since
she was a small child. So has every other woman in her village of Foro, in the Konso
district of south-western Ethiopia in Africa, Binayo left school when she was eight years
old, in part because she had to help her mother fetch water from the Toiro River. The water
is unsafe to drink; every year that the drought continues, the river carries less water, and its
fiow is reduced. But it is the only water Foro has ever had.
In developed parts of the world, people turn on a tap and out pours abundant, clean
water. Yet nearly 900 million people in the world have no access to clean water.
Furthermore, 2.5 billion people have no safe way to get rid of human waste. Polluted water
and lack of proper hygiene cause disease and kill 3.3 million people around the world
annually, most of them children. In southern Ethiopia and in northern Kenya, a lack of rain
over the past few years has made even dirty water hard to find. But soon, for the first time,
things are going to change.
Bringing clean water close to villagers' homes is the key to the problem.
Communities where clean water becomes accessible and plentiful are transformed.
Ali the hours previously spent hauling water can be used to cultivate more crops,
raise more animals or even start a business. Families spend less time sic k or caring
for family members who are unwell. Most important, not having to collect water
means girls can go to school and get jobs. The need to fetch water for the family, or
to take care of younger siblings while their mother goes, usually prevents them ever
having this experience.
D
But the challenges of bringing water to remote villages like those in Konso are overwhelming.
Locating water underground and then reaching it by means of deep wells requires geological
expertise and expensive, heavy machines. Abandoned wells and water projects litter the villages
of Konso. In similar villages around the developing world, the biggest problem with water
schemes is that about half of them break down soon after the groups that built them move on.
Sometimes technology is used that can't be repaired locally, or spare parts are available only in
the capital.
E Today, a UK-based international non-profit organisation called WaterAid is tackling the job of
bringing water to the most remote villages of Konso. Their approach combines technologies proven
to last - such as building a sand dam to capture and filter rainwater that would otherwise drain away.
But the real innovation is that WaterAid believes technology is only part of the solution. Just as
important is involving the local community in designing, building and maintaining new water
projects. Before beginning any project, WaterAid asks the community to create a WASH (water,
sanitation, hygiene) committee of seven people. The committee works with WaterAid to plan
projects and involve the village in construction. Then it maintains and runs the project.
F The people of Konso, who grow their crops on terraces they have dug into the sides of
mountains, are famous for hard work. In the village of Orbesho, residents even
constructed a road themselves so that drilling machinery could come in. Last summer,
their pump, installed by the river, was being motorised to push its water to a newly
built reservoir on top of a nearby mountain. From there, gravity will carry it down in
pipes to villages on the other side of the mountain. Residents of those villages have
each giyen some money to help fund the project. They have made concrete and
collected stones for the structures. Now they are digging trenches to lay pipes. If all
goes well, Aylito Binayo will have a tap with safe water just a three -minute walk
from her front door.

READING TEXT II
Answer the questions according to the reading passage.
Mother Tongue
First language, also known as mother tongue, is generally the language a person learns first.
However, one can have two or more native languages thus being a native bilingual or indeed
multilingual. The order in which these languages are learned is not necessarily the order of
proficiency. Incomplete first language skills often make learning other languages difficult. Often
a child learns the basics of his or her first language or languages from his or her family. The term
mother tongue, however, should not be interpreted to mean that it is the language of one's mother.
For instance, in some paternal societies, the wife moves in with the husband and thus may have a
different first language or dialect than the local language of the husband. Yet their children
usually
only
