Most of the people in this area are farmers growing mostly potatoes and cabbage. Most of the farms have hand dug wells which are not protected, and other water sources like streams would be used. However these sources of water are unsafe, and continually dry up during the dry seasons. The students would have to spend all their time just looking for water instead of attending school. This well provides them with safe clean water allowing them to live healthier and obtain an education.
