Relieve the burden of carrying water for the women of East Timor
Localização
The Q-Drums will be used as a pilot to introduce the women to this new product. They will be able to borrow and test the Q-Drums and see whether they prefer them to the current containers that they use. This pilot is intended to introduce a new product into the market and for the community to see for themselves how much less time and effort is required to transport water for household use. Centro Feto will also determine during this time what the market value of the Q-Drum will be (how much the community is willing to pay for it)
In East Timor, half of the population does not have access to potable water. Many families live very far from a water source. Women and girls are tasked with collecting and carrying water for daily household use over very long distances sometimes more than six times per day. They currently carry the water in 5 litre plastic jerry-cans. This is a huge physical and time burden on the women.
