Xiarahura Tibetan Village Water System Project

Book cover
The Canada Fund in Beijing provided 207,286 RMB. This with the local contribution of 91,720 RMB meant a total investment of 299,006 RMB that provided a system bringing water to each of the 78 households in this village (527 people). Women and girls are now released from the time consuming task of fetching water. Villagers can now wash their clothes more frequently, improving hygiene and health; and also have more time to pursue other work, giving them greater opportunity to earn additional cash income, e.g., certain villagers go to brick and cement factories near the village to earn cash income. All school-aged children who dropped out of school to help their families to carry water now have the opportunity to return to school. Elderly villagers who suffered from carrying water during caterpillar fungus collecting season no longer suffer.
