Eben, a 13-year-old boy, lives in Laindatang, a village at the heart of our #WaterConnections and #ZeroMalaria efforts. For almost two years, we have been working to improve the lives of residents by providing access to clean water and fighting against malaria and other diseases. Eben is a talented young boy whose creativity transcends the challenges of living in a village without modern amenities such as electricity, water, toilets, and the Internet.
Eben has never experienced television or browsed KZitem. His world is fueled by boundless imagination, stimulated by magazines he has found while returning from the market to Waingapu. Despite facing challenges such as his health condition marked by polio, which deprived him of the use of his feet at a young age, Eben found solace and a means of expression through drawing.
His creations, filled with his imagined life - animals, lush nature, and idyllic landscapes - reveal a world rich in colour and life, a striking contrast to his daily challenges. Eben is not just a child in a remote village; he is living proof that the human spirit can rise above the harshest circumstances through creativity and resilience.
Eben is passionate about drawing but supports his family in an environment lacking guaranteed water, nutrition, and sanitation access. This highlights the urgency of our projects in Laindatang.
Eben's story reminds us that there is a deep story, a struggle, and immense hope behind every drawing, every family, and every child. By sharing Eben's story, we seek to shed light on the challenges faced by the people of Laindatang and similar areas and celebrate the indomitable spirit of those like Eben, who find ways to express their joy, talent and hope for a better future.
Eben's story emphasizes the need to support and invest in communities to improve access to resources and recognize unique talents. It serves as a call to action for all of us, showing that our commitment can create a future full of possibilities for Eben and other children like him.
