It's difficult to wash in the camp. Caroline's Aunt Filder explains: “Before Oxfam came with its tapstands, we had to fetch water from up the hill. We would take three or four hours waiting in the queue at the borehole to get just one jerrycan a day for the whole family. By the time you came back, it was late to start cooking. We could hardly wash ourselves or our clothes. Since Oxfam came, I can get three jerrycans without waiting, and we have enough water. The tapstands have made a huge difference to everyone."
