Ms. Phạm Thị Ni is 35 years old and lives in Cồn Bửng, Thạnh Hải Village, Vĩnh Long Province. She heads a family of four, consisting of herself and her three children; her husband left the family due to their extreme poverty. Since they own no land, she takes on any manual labor she can find, but her income is only enough to buy rice to feed her children. The household has no freshwater well, forcing her to ask neighbors for water to use, so she is in desperate need of a well of her own.
