He is a mason and likes to play drums in his spare time. He usually performs traditional Uygur music with villagers. # “Now we have safe #water, which is clean and sweet. I wrote a song and sing it in public,” said Geni. Jiashi County is located on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert. Previously, people had to drink bitter water, which would often make them sick. After nearly five years of research, a source for drinking water was finally chosen from the snow water of glaciers melting on Mount Muztagata. Almost 100 researchers got involved in surveys before the safe drinking water project kicked off in May 2019. This year, the project has helped 470,000 people get access to safe drinking water, which marks a complete solution to the problem of drinking water safety for the poor in Xinjiang. All residents in Jiashi County have complete access to safe tap water. #ZeroPoverty2020
