In developing countries fetching water is usually the job of women, and the rural regions of Tibet are no exception. The women go to the well to get water with a heavy bucket three or four times a day and cover many miles. However necessary this is in order to support their families, the work is very debilitating and takes a great deal of time, preventing them from studying or training for other work.
