Vitika

Until this year, water collection would take up half of Vikita’s day and almost all her energy.

Vikita and her sister would walk miles across the desert carrying earthen pots on their head.

Today, Vikita and her sister are going to school.  Her mother was filled with joy when their rainwater harvesting tank was completed after four months of construction.  Vikita no longer suffers from health problems from drinking dirty water.   She and her sister help her mother to grow fruits and vegetables in a kitchen garden next to their rainwater harvesting tank.  They also help to grow wheat and millet on the family farm for income generation.

As a result, Vikita can now focus on her education.  She says that she would like to become a doctor.

• A rainwater harvesting tank
• Training in sustainable farming
• Seeds to grow food and cash crops

• A bicycle to take her to and from school
