My mother is sick,” says 12-year old Fariba, from Khair Abad village, in the Nawmish district of Daikundi province in central Afghanistan. “So, I have to fetch water four or five times each day. The river I go to is four kilometers away from my home.”
Around 1,100 children, like Fariba, live there; they are deprived of many of their basic rights, including access to safe drinking water.
The source of water for 250 families living in Khair Abad village is the natural spring four kilometers away. Children have to walk 40 minutes to reach the water and then they have to queue because, according to Fariba, “The spring was low and there wasn’t much water, so we had to wait hours to fill our containers.”
