WILLS POINT, TX – For parents who once feared sickness from muddy water, safe water for families changed the shape of each day. The story follows two villages where children, farmers and households needed water they could trust for drinking, cooking, cleaning and animals, and shows why closer wells mattered for ordinary life together.
Each morning and evening, Azai and his family performed a ritual tinged with anxiety: They gathered their large jugs, walked up a hill and got in line.
Perhaps their hearts raced as they eyed the number of people in front of them, hoping they wouldn’t be too late to their destination. They knew that their place in line would determine how hard the day would be. Azai probably can’t remember the number of days he and his family got in line too late—and the number of days he watched his children suffer because of it.
“For years, we struggled to fetch enough water, often waiting in long lines at the stream. … Sometimes, the well dried up before we could fill our containers,” Azai says.
