" My house was destroyed by the floodwaters, all our livestock were killed, we lost our jobs and my children's school is closed down. When we first arrived at this safety camp, we encountered issues with lack of access to water, electricity and latrines. We are lucky that we have Electrolux supporting this clean drinking water system in this critical situation otherwise we would have to find a way to pay for clean water or boil water by ourselves."

"My house, rice crop and livestock are gone forever. We are concerned over returning home because we have many hardships to overcome now - we are running out money, my kids are not well, and we need help from the local authority to rebuild my house. Fortunately, we have clean drinking water now which has helped us a lot. "
