A Year Later: Reliable, Safe Water Makes Life Easier!

Diana, 10, recalled what life was like in the Indulusia Community before her community's spring was protected last year.

"It was hard because the area around the waterpoint was so bushy with shrubs and tall papyrus reeds; this was considered unsafe because it was infested with dangerous snakes and insects," Diana shared.

Collecting water is now much safer for Diana and the other community members in the Indulusia Community.

"It is easier, reliable, and safe because the bushy surrounding is no more, and this has given me full confidence when [I am] sent [from] home to go and fetch water," she continued.

Having ready access to water from the spring has made a difference for Diana, allowing her to collect clean water fearlessly. Since the spring was protected a year ago, she has had time for the things that matter and had the opportunity to enjoy her childhood.

"It has helped me have enough time for studies and household chores. [I] also have enough playtime with my fellow friends since [water] is readily accessible," Diana concluded.
