A Year Later: More Time Invested in Students!


Teacher James Maina, 40, recalled what life was like at the Kapsotik Secondary School before his school's well was installed last year.

"We sent our students during lunchtime down [to] the stream to get water for use in the school. They always lamented on [the] quality of water they fetched and [the] distance. It wasn't a good gesture for school-going students who were expected to be in classes to find water. It was difficult and always put us in an awkward situation," he shared.

Finding and collecting water is much simpler for Mr. Maina and the other teachers and students at Kapsotik now.

"You people have made the water available to us; this has facilitated the smooth flow of the school timetable. We have minimized time wastage and utilized it in classes," he continued.
