Hello everyone and welcome. I'm actually near Kinsila Street. In this area, the community and people are facing challenges with water. And over there, you can see people getting water. Today is Friday, the tap is usually open. Sometimes the tap won't open for two days, three days, weeks. The tap is extremely challenging. And they are very happy today because the tap is open. People are filling their containers, aren't they? You can see the water is pure and pleasant. But this community does not need a water supply. Alright, guys, let's take a look around Kinsila Street. So we're going down there, you see. You can observe, you see the tap is running gradually and smoothly. People are receiving this purified water every month, sometimes it takes a month. This tap is usually shut down. But thanks to this, people are happy. People are obtaining sources of water. This is tap water, not well water. So guys, we are so happy. This is a large stream. So we are going down to see or discover how people are trying to fetch water. And if you take a look, the tap is really, really weak. If you watch closely, people are fetching their water. You can see the other person going into the water, right? And this is known as a beautiful state, a beautiful environment where people live. And indeed, they are facing challenges in water supply. This is known as Kinsila Street. So if you look closely, there's a little child coming to get water as well. You can see how extremely anxious they are to get water, right? If you take a close look, the tap water really needs maintenance. It really needs maintenance. You can see the tap and the water is still there. Wow! So guys, I'm so happy. Talking about the situation in Salem, the water quality is extremely poor. People are facing difficulties in the Mambo area, Wellington, PZ, and Sumo. There are many areas in Salem that are experiencing challenges with water supply. So many towns in Salem need a tap. Some areas need a well. So, guys, you can help by reaching out to this community. Currently, I am near Kinsila Street, one of the four communities in Salem. Thank you very much, everyone. Hello everyone, I'm back on Kinsila Street once again. In the Kinsila area, there are thousands of people living. They are experiencing water supply issues. If you take a look, here is the tap connected. You can see many pipes. Let's move closer so we can see the pipes gradually. So, let me talk about this pipe. This pipe is connected to the tap where people usually get water. As you can see, water usually flows down gradually. They are facing challenges with the water supply. Some of these pipes don't usually carry water. Sometimes it takes them months or weeks to supply water. It's a major challenge, and we need to find a solution. Let's take a look around the area. You can see the community and its people are suffering. This is Kinsila Street. You can see there is only one tap. You can see the water running down because today is Friday. Every Friday, water usually comes in. Sometimes, they find it very difficult to obtain water. Guys, thank you very much for your support. Let us provide the best solution for those people. Let's go to the tap. When we talk about the tap, you can see this is the well. This is a well from which people usually draw water. It's really deep. It's about six miles from the ground. You can see these are empty containers. People are fetching water. Although it's a challenging journey, water is life. Everyone needs water. They usually travel far and wide to fetch water. This is what the well looks like. It's very deep. Can you imagine drawing water from this well every day? It can cause health problems. It can cause pain in the human body. It's really bad. These are some of the challenges people face when fetching water. Pain, fatigue—you can see it. Sometimes, you cannot walk because of having to fetch water. Sometimes, people complain that they are feeling pain. After drawing water from this well, you can see how deep it is. It is extremely important to understand the constraints faced by the Samaritans and people around the world. They are facing the same challenges in fetching water. Water is life. We all know that water is life. When there is no access to water, it is a disaster. At least among the cyclists, there are many challenges. You can see this guy fetching water. Sometimes, when we come from a great distance, we get tired. We need to set down the tank and rest for a minute. You can see that empty containers are being sold for a small amount of money. People sell containers. The amount of the container is 30,000 Naira. It's very expensive. People are fetching water. There are many challenges. People obtain water from the gutter, which can result in contaminated water. You can see these are two brothers fetching water from Kinsela Street. They are going home. It's a long distance. Life in Sierra Leone is extremely challenging. You can see this guy. We are still on Kinsela Street. This guy is fetching water. Guys, this is a water supply issue. Today is Friday. Kinsela Street is experiencing a water outage today. You can see the water is running. Sometimes, people have trouble accessing water. According to this young man, he said that he usually walks a mile to fetch water. He said that his community does not have a water facility. That's why he walks a mile to fetch water in Kinsela Street, which is far away from his local premises. In fact, he attempted to appeal to the government for a water supply provision. He also said that he is so happy today because it has taken a long time. They have not yet been able to access water, which is truly painful. You can see now he is already getting water into his container. He was so excited to see that today he would have enough water at home. This is good news because the issue of water is truly stressful. Every last Friday of the month, water usually rises in certain areas. As for my area, we usually have to go far away to fetch water. Especially during morning hours on Mondays. We don't have the facility for taps. We use wells to access water. Hey, let's watch the video. Please share the video. Comment. Ask a question.
