Sounds like they need a Team to do a MEDRET with some CA stuff thrown in FTFOI.  The VITA manual is oriented towards 1960s era Peace Corps goals/resources. Success is directly correlated to leadership provided by the "volunteer". I don't know how successful the nurses will be if the village is as primitive as it sounds. (People have to want change before anything positive happens.) My recommendation is a dug or driven well with a hand pump. Wells solve the sediment problems. An electric pump into a water tower takes advantage of the four hours of power and allows reserve capacity for extended outages plus dwell time for chlorination. USAID should have grants to help with the infrastructure. Can't have too much water at a health clinic.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
