Ralaman, a 30 -year -old villager at Murli Village, told reporters that since his birth, water supply has been unstable. "When it comes to water, it is only half an hour to 45 minutes. I have never seen the water that can continue to be supplied for 1 hour. Sometimes power outages, 5 to 8 days without water."

According to Su Hill, most of the projects have begun. In just four months after the project took effect, they received the first loan from the New Development Bank, "this is a record."
