"We came to know about the Chikhaldara video project in the office, but where should it be shot? I thought of Ekjira Village and how far women would walk for water."

"These women had never faced the camera before, they had never seen a shooting. We had a small meeting and explained the process to help make them comfortable and confident."

"Just look at the video from the eye of a viewer and see if it excites you, if it moves you, if it actually pushes you to think about the issue. That would be the biggest achievement of the video."

"The film is a testament to the efforts of women and girls across the globe who are walking tirelessly to ensure water is available for their households. With the civil society organizations complementing the work of the national and state governments, we will hopefully ensure that the walk for water will end completely very soon."

"The sun was so hot and it was irritating the women, but they kept going. They thought this shoot would help the village and that the world would know their plight. And it was a great experience."

"The projects of Water For People have empowered many women in these areas. The women learn leadership - they take initiative in the Water User Committees, they participate in meetings. They are happy now that their lives are easier."
