In addition to the lack of adequate toilets, Von's family faces a constant struggle with water scarcity in their large household. With numerous family members to care for, the need for water is ever-present and urgent. Unfortunately, their only water source, an aging well with a broken pump and insufficient water supply tools, fails to meet their needs. This daily battle for these essential resources takes a toll on Von and her family, consuming valuable time and draining their energy that could be better utilized for other crucial tasks.
However, a turning point occurred when Von obtained a loan from Amret Microfinance Institution. This financial assistance enabled the family to construct a new toilet near their home and repair the well. This simple change brought about a remarkable transformation for Von's family. They no longer had to endure long walks or fear accidents while using the field toilet. Furthermore, Von now had particularly Von had enough clean water for her grandchildren and family.
Von's happiness and the newfound convenience in their lives are evident in her radiant smile and joyful expression. She declares, "Having a proper toilet and sufficient clean water for me and my family has brought us immense happiness and made our lives so much easier. We no longer have to worry about long walks or the dangers of nighttime visits to the toilet. Moreover, my grandchildren now have access to clean drinking water, and I no longer spend hours hunched over the well."
