Kalma Camp is right now struggling with malaria. The wet season ended not long ago and mosquito populations are high.

Although water is readily available in Kalma, getting the water day-in and day-out can still be a big challenge for some in the community. People living with a disability and the elderly often struggle to get large, heavy water jugs back to their homes.

It’s thanks to the Kalma Water Committee that the community has enough water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. It’s a huge service…that they do as volunteers.

The water points around Kalma run on-demand. When someone is done filling up their water jug or jerrican, the water turns off – so there isn’t a lot of wasted water. Nonetheless, with so many people using the water points, there’s always overflow and water puddles around most water sources.
