00:00Real development does not arrive for a community. It is built with a community, by the people who will live
00:06with it every day.
00:07In Pakistan, a village water project inaugurated this week shows how.
00:12In Baki village, more than 6,000 residents now have safe drinking water through 6,013 meters of new supply
00:19pipes.
00:20The community helped dig, moved materials, and tested the water.
00:24A 20-member WASH committee, trained locally, will now run and maintain the system.
00:30Around the world, 60 young people did the same in their own way, documenting drought, pollution, and water scarcity in
00:36their communities,
00:37then bringing that evidence to COP31, with cleanups, planting, and peer education already underway.
00:44When people help decide, help build, and help maintain, change lasts.
00:49That is participation. That is ownership.
