It will be midday or even later before she returns home to her village in southwest Bangladesh’s Satkhira district, where all freshwater sources were destroyed after the devastating Cyclone Aila in 2009.

Though the walk itself takes two hours, the 25-year-old says she has to queue up for much of the day to get her turn at the tap.
