Puhi Village

On November 13, 2024, Puhi Village celebrated the arrival of clean water with the installation of a solar-powered water system, generously funded by the Kirsh Foundation, Water 4 Mercy, and Amy Belanger. The system now delivers 1.03 liters of water per second through 3,980 meters of piping, reaching 8 taps and serving 3,110 residents. Previously, women and girls walked over 2.5 kilometers daily to collect unsafe water, leading to poor health and lost educational time. With clean water now flowing, Puhi Village is thriving—health has improved, children are in school, and families have time to farm and grow. A brighter, more dignified future has begun.
