Has approximately 10 years and says that this stream is dengue, which they cleaned more containers from their homes, the stream makes them sick. How right!. Access to safe water and environmental sanitation are central to the health problems of children and adults.
Not all have water in their homes. Paulina's family does have a tap in your yard, but wary of the water because "sometimes it's cloudy and sometimes white and tasteless." Another neighbor says that the water does not reach them. Sometimes have to use other water, the stream to wash their pots and cooking utensils. Obviously, money can not afford to buy bottled water, and hot. A lot.
