Woman's 5-Decade Water Struggle Ends After Court Hearing

Woman's 5-Decade Water Struggle Ends After Court Hearing

For fifty years, Muniyammal and her community faced problems because they couldn't get clean drinking water because of caste discrimination.

Every day, they had to walk long distances and were often insulted and even had things thrown at them.

Finally, Muniyammal went to court and told the judge about all the problems.

The very next day, a water pipeline was installed, ending their struggle.

Now, they get plenty of water every day, thanks to Muniyammal's persistence.
