Hakim, 8, a student at Eshimuli Primary School, shared, "Water was very scarce here in school, and we had to bring water from home. We could not depend on the well since it does dry up."
But now that the school has had a rain tank for the past year, things are different for Hakim. He commented, "I feel so nice. I do have a small sister, and sometimes I was required by my mother to help with her jerry-can [full of water] until we both reached school."
He continued, "Now it is easy to carry many books. No more carrying water luggage! This has made our lives here at school more comfortable."
