A Year Later: Able to Concentrate in School!


"I used to carry water to school every day. It was a tiresome experience for me," said Ian D., a 17-year-old student at Friends Mixed Secondary School in Lwombei.

But since his school had a rain tank installed last year, things have been different for Ian and his classmates.

Ian shared, "I look forward to coming to school every morning ready for morning preps without worrying about water shortages. I drink clean water anytime I get thirsty."

As a result, Ian has seen an improvement in his academic endeavors. He said, "I concentrate more in class during lessons. I am able to plan my time at school and my performance has really improved."
