"The vast majority of Indonesia's 220 million people still lack access to an improved water source.  More than one hundred thousand children under the age of five die every year in Indonesia as a result of intestinal illness."

Since commencing our work in 2008, Access Life Bali has impacted approximately 1700 people providing water solutions. On our most recent projects alone we estimate up to 300 families will have access to clean drinking water within meters of their homes.

Access Life Bali initially worked with individual households providing household rainwater tanks to help with water storage. These water tanks were completely enclosed protecting the quality of the water and also enabled the family the option of water disinfection. These water tanks can vastly improve quality of life for a family and increase their ability to raise more livestock and plant more crops due to a greater availability of water.

Tigawasa

In mid-December, 2010 the Access Life Bali team was able to secure a water source in the northern part of Bali in the village of Tigawasa. In early January, 2011 they continued by purchasing materials for the construction of the tanks as well as the pump house.  The community is very enthusiastic and is working well alongside the team because they see the need for water in their village. Each day around 10 villagers join in on the work. The cooperation has been very good.
