She arrived quietly, carrying her torn emergency water filter bag kit. Inside were the remains of a water filtration kit. It had been destroyed by rats. For weeks, her family had gone back to collecting and using water from the lake water, she knew was unsafe. Water that had once made her children sick. Water she had hoped she would never have to rely on again. But even then, she didn’t throw the filter away. She kept it. Because to her, it was not just a tool it was the difference between sickness and health, between fear and some sense of control. When she heard there was another distribution happening, she walked to the site not to ask for a new kit, but simply to show what had happened, hoping there might still be a way. When the team asked if she had anything at home that could be used, she didn’t hesitate. She ran back and returned with an old bucket.
