Water for
Banuan

Project Brief
Banuan, Banuan, a remote village in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia, is home to around 759 residents and 186 registered families. Villagers must walk 700 meters to 2 kilometers to reach water sources, or they buy water, paying 250,000-300,000 rupiah for 5,000 liters or 70,000 rupiah for 1,200 liters. Those who cannot afford this have no choice but to walk and wait in line due to the limited water flow. This project aims to reduce the distance villagers must travel for clean water, freeing them from contaminated sources and allowing them to focus on more productive activities.
From August 26-30, 2024, we implemented a solar-powered water pump system combined with gravity-fed pipes. Originally planned at 4.4 kilometers, the pipe route was adjusted to 3.3 kilometers, with the remaining pipes provided to the village for distribution, allowing a broader impact for the beneficiaries.
