The remote village of Buhisan in the southern Philippines is suffering the effects of protracted violence. And for many years, people had to queue up or make long journeys, just to collect unhealthy water from streams, open wells or a leaky pipeline. Diarrhoea and other water-borne diseases were common. We built water supply systems and local residents joined in, carrying materials, digging trenches and installing pipes. Now, a newly-formed water association will maintain the system and ensure that clean water keeps flowing for many years to come.
