Disaster READY and village council work together to build access to water
In Bobonaro municipality, Timor-Leste, one of the challenges to resilience is access to clean water. With increasing incidents of drought predicted, villages struggle with fresh water springs running dry during the dry season. But access to water is crucial all year round for maintaining resilience, as it determines the ability to grow enough crops for food and income, and clean water helps avoid getting sick with gastrointestinal diseases.
