Ramsita Buda
Ramsita is a woman with an intellectual disability who lives in a rural area of Surkhet district in Karnali province. Due to her limited formal education, she relies on her family’s support to engage in various activities, including attending workshops.
She explains how water shortage caused by climate change impacts social and economic aspects of life.
“This is my well. My house is here (on the left), and here is the goat barn (to the right). When there is a drought, the well dries up. The water gets muddy and sandy, so we need to buy water.”
“One time, there was a severe drought. It was scorching hot, and there was no water. At that time, we had to go from one place to another in search of water. We had to find a place where they were fetching water through boring to wash our clothes and bathe.”
