“There are times when we can only hope for rain to fill the well.” We can also no longer be certain of the pond’s water quality,”said the head of Kg Mapan. Who would have guessed that a pond and a well in Kg Mapan, Pitas Sabah, are shared by nearly 200 people? It is their only source of water.
They had to get water from the well or pond for daily use, which included cooking, drinking, ablution, and other purposes.
Majority of the villagers consist of fishermen. While the husband is at the sea, it will be the wife’s responsibility to obtain water supply for the family. To get to the water source, they had to travel for ten minutes.
This makes their lives more difficult as they must take water frequently while also facing the risk of being attacked by animals while passing through the forest where the well is located.
“Imagine if our mother or grandmother had to carry water from afar daily. Are you willing to let them bear that burden for the rest of their lives?”
Therefore, MyFundAction has taken the initiative to provide clean water for the villagers of Kg. Mapan, Pitas to use on a daily basis.
Alhamdulillah, phase one has completed, and phase two, “Installation of Water Filtration Systems on Existing Water Tanks,” is currently underway. However, we still require RM83,634 to complete phase two.
The construction of a new water storage tank with a capacity of 600 gallons, equivalent to three units of water tanks, has been completed.
The installation of water pipes into the houses of the villagers has been conducted.
This will make life easier for the villagers as they will no longer have to take or carry water from the pond located far from their home for daily use.
The water supply will be stored in the tank and distributed to all of the villagers. However, due to a lack of water filters, the quality of the water obtained cannot be completely guaranteed.
The villagers will be at risk as the unguaranteed quality level of the water obtained can affect their health.
Make it easier for them to prepare foods and drinks safely using clean water.
The installation of these water filters can reduce the risk of cancer and help develop the immunity system in children.
With this effort, we can provide a clean water supply source and allow the villagers to carry out their daily activities without ever having to draw water from the pond or the well.
