(Front-pink dress) Five months pregnat Elizabeth Eidngo (30) from St Cecilia who has 3 boys and 2 girls filling up jerry cans of fresh clean water from the Cafod borehole.
The community of St Cecilia is home to over 400 households or approx 3.000 people. In Dec 2011 the communities first borehole was fitted by Cafod supplying the community with fresh water for the first time.
Each family is allowed to collect 5/6 jerrycans of water or 100 litres a day which is used for drinking, cooking and washing.
Each household pays approx 5 Sudanese Pounds or GBP1.50 a month for water access.
Howver demand is high and flow rates quite low so collecting water can take hours out of each family members day just collecting water.
