A Year Later: Easy, Equitable Access to Clean Water!

Farmer Robai Naliaka, 61, recalled what life was like in Ebuhayi Community before her community's spring was protected last year.

"It was so hectic to come to the spring to fetch water [before]. The access was so bad that I could not make it to the source. Being that I have [a] knee problem, it meant I depend[ed] on children or well-wishers to help me get water," Robai shared.

But life is less challenging for Robai and the other community members in Ebuhayi now.

"Right now, [I] am a happy woman and a proud beneficiary of this project. At the moment, [I] am even at the spring. Any time I can come to get water. This has impacted my life so positively that I do not depend on anyone to have water in my house," she continued.

Having ready access to water from the protected spring has made a difference for Robai, allowing her to enjoy more independence.

"One of the things that I have achieved is having water at my convenience [so] that I can plant vegetables [in] whichever season," Robai concluded.

Thank you for helping Robai access clean water and enjoy the freedom of fulfilling her own basic needs. She can now plant vegetables and not worry about having the water to help them thrive.
