A Year Later: More Time for Studying and Friends!

Wilkista M., 12, recalled what life was like in the Lunyinya Community before her community's spring was protected last year.

"We used to overcrowd at the water point, which was time-consuming and forced us to wake up early in the morning to avoid the crowd," Wilkista shared.

Collecting water is now much less demanding for Wilkista and the other community members in the Lunyinya Community.

"We no longer overcrowd at the water point as before which saves more time to assist our parents with daily chores and [allows me to] spare some time to play with my friend," she added.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Wilkista.

"By getting water on time, [I] have been able to spare time for my personal studies, both at home and at school, and [have] more time to help my parents with other house chores," Wilkista concluded.

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.
