DFID - UK Department for International Development
Pipe dream to reality
The project was expensive but costs were cut by local men who helped to carry the pipes and lay them over the hills.
March 22 is World Water Day and a chance to focus on the 900 million people in the world without access to safe water.
Between March 2008 and October 2009, UKaid from the Department for International Development helped 2.7 million people in Africa and 3.1 million in Asia gain access to safe water.
Here in Tijmali, India, a DFID-funded project installed a water tap for villagers living at an altitude where the women had to walk for three hours to collect basic supplies for their needs.
