School Poverty alleviation in poor rural regions in southern Xinjiang, safe drinking water for rural kids Southern Xinjiang is one of the 14 worst poverty regions in China prioritized for alleviation program by the government. The alleviation officials found the local school kids have a habit of drinking tap water directly from the faucets and they tested the local tap water and found the water is not clean enought for direct drinking and may compromise children's health.
After the report handed to the government, the government sent and installed water purifier machines in local schools, now children can drink water safely from those machines and the children say the water from the water purifiers taste much better.
The local teacher says it'll still take some time to change the local kids habit of drinking tapwater directly though.
