The village was struck with a severe drought and the livelihood of many farmers came to a standstill. Mary's grandparents were also affected as they had a farm where grandpa used to collect fruits and vegetables and sell it in the nearby town for a living. Mary's grandma used to make use of the fresh ingredients from the farm to make cakes and pastries.
The people met up and made a decision to request for immediate action. However, the authorities were least bothered. Mary felt that it was the question of survival of the people and she decided to come up with the idea of protesting until their needs were met.
The villagers were confused at first on how to go about it as they were not a part of any protests to gain their rights. Mary told them how to go about it as she was one among the educated youngsters who had decided to lead the protest.
The protests gained huge popularity as her friends decided to help her out by posting the videos of protests over social media. The authorities had to break their silence and were assured to take action. However, the processes began to consume a lot of time. A TV channel decided to interview Mary and her team of youngsters who stood by their village to gain their rights for drinking water and water for farming purposes. The government decided to build water tanks and pipes so that water could be provided to the village to resolve the crisis.
Water filtering and purifying plant was set up. It had the capability to recycle used water following its proper treatment. The plant also had the facility to collect rainwater and provide it to the villagers so that they could live and carry out farming comfortably.
