Increased use of our water station

rs. Although there have been a lot of rain in recent times, we still have a water shortage in our region. Our big water tank has to be refilled daily. Because of the cholera, the people became more cautious about their drinking water also take more care about the purity of the vessels they use. Also we have a lot more refugees and therefore a lot more water use. With clean water we can reduce many illnesses like typhus, stomach inflammations and diarrhoea.
