A Year Later: No longer late for school!


James O., 15, recalled what life was like in the Elusolokho Community before his community's spring was protected last year.

"Initially, we were taking dirty water because the children play around the spring and drop some dirty things in [the] water. Some could step in [the] water when drawing it," said James.

But life is much simpler for James and the other community members in Elusolokho Community now.

"The spring is protected, and now I am drinking clean water. There are no more outbreaks of waterborne diseases among the community members," James continued.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for James, allowing him time for other important things than collecting water.

"No more queuing at the protected spring when drawing water. Nowadays I don't go late to school. I keep time," concluded James.


Right now, there are others in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can't wait to introduce you to the next person you'll help.
