A Year Later: Less Waterborne Disease!

Churchill K., 12, recalled what life was like in the Muyala Community before his community's spring was installed last year.

"It was very hard to get water because of [the] long queues, so I was forced to take [our] cows to the farthest streams, which was very tiresome," said Churchill.

But life is much simpler for Churchill and the other community members in Muyala now.

"I am no longer taking cows to the farthest streams in search of drinking water because water is now readily available," said Churchill

Having ready access to water from the protected spring has made a difference for Churchill, allowing him time for things other than walking in search of water.

"Because waterborne diseases are no longer witnessed [by] my parents, [they] are now able to save something rather than using [it] for medication," concluded Churchill.
