Seventeen-year-old
Vu Thuy Ahn has already won her campaign to get water to her town, Hoa
Ma Hai Noi in Viet Nam, giving the town a new lease of life.
The problem
for Vu Thuy Ahn and her friends was that for six months every year the
town’s water supply would dry up. The girls had to spend their days
walking thirty kilometres to collect water for their families from the
nearest source.
As a result, they would not attend school. Vu Thuy Ahn campaigned until
she won her town a grant and sponsorship to build a proper water tank
and pipes to bring the water to the town. Now the girls get their education,
and the town gets its water. |
