conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Anna-Marie BallThe purpose of this paper is to give voice to the experiences
of some of the women in the Eastern Province who have
experienced a change in their water supply from a traditional
or unprotected source to a protected water source fitted
with a handpump. As the “primary water carriers, managers,
end-users and family health educators” (Grekel, 1995), it
is crucial that their perspective is heard. The benefits to
their lives along with the drawbacks which have been
observed must be considered within the planning and
implementation of a project which affects such a major
portion of their life.
