In the Congo, obtaining safe and clean water is a big and daily challenge. Most women and girls have to walk long distance to get water.
If you have a cistern, you are lucky. You do not have to walk to far to obtain your daily water needs. However, most people do not have cistern because they do not have tin roofs. If you have a tin roof and cistern, you can collect rain water.
Even if you have cistern, you still have to carry the walk into house.
