Clean Water Bringing Dignity to Families and Schools

In Uhacae, Viqueque Municipality, access to clean water was once a daily challenge. Mana Merita, a mother living with a disability, walked one kilometre each day to collect water for her family. Today, thanks to ADRA Timor-Leste, clean water is now available at her home—allowing her to live more independently, care for her family with ease, and focus on her wellbeing.

The impact reaches beyond individual households. The local school in Uhacae now has reliable access to safe water, creating a healthier learning environment for students and teachers. Children no longer need to fetch water from unsafe sources and can spend more time focusing on their education, hygiene, and overall health.

By ensuring inclusive access to clean water for both families and schools, ADRA Timor-Leste is helping build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities, where no one is left behind. 💙🚰
