Ask anyone in rural Timor-Leste what they want most and the answer is always water. “We don’t have any,” complained Filomena Brites, 35, who walks up to 3 km four times a day to the nearest spring to fetch water from her home in Lisapat, a tiny village high in the coffee-growing hills of Ermera District. “Sometimes I go. Sometimes the children go,” she told IRIN. “But one of us will go. We don’t have a choice.” According to Timor-Leste’s National Statistics Directorate, almost 40 percent of the country’s 1.1 million inhabitants lack access to an improved water source.
