Global 6k Feature Story – GRACE
Ecrit par Marie TERRYle 9 avril 2019
Grace, 5-years-old and not yet sponsored, carries a 3 liter jug of dirty swamp water to her home in Morungatuny AP, Uganda. She and 3-year-old sister, Judith, start and end their day with walking to gather water for their family. It’s at least six kilometers of walking every day for the girls, and the family’s struggle for water is typical throughout their community, which is also still healing from the physical and emotional wounds of Joseph Kony’s LRA insurgency in their area more than a decade ago. At the time of the insurgency, the government built some boreholes on the edges of the camps it created to protect citizens, but many don’t work today and most aren’t close to where people actually live, so community members instead settle for gathering water from swamps closer to their homes. The swamp water is disease-ridden, causing intensely itching sores on people’s bodies as well as internal diseases like typhoid, diarrhea, and worms. Beyond the physical effects of the water, the walks to get water can be dangerous for kids as they travel through tall grass where they could be kidnapped. Additionally, children like Grace miss a lot of school — either seriously late or outright absent — because of their need to collect water. Grace is two years behind in her studies, but she yearns to be a nurse when she grows up. If she and others had water closer, they would be on time to class and learning more. World Vision plans to build three boreholes in their community in the year ahead, which will begin to relieve some of their water pains.
