A Year Later: Academic Improvement and a Bright Future!

We asked ten-year-old Hero C what his life was like before the local spring was protected. "Access to clean water was a challenge. Time-wasting was there due to queuing for water. [Also,] contamination of water, especially [during] rainy seasons, contributing to water diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and other waterborne diseases."

But now, Hero doesn't have to worry about water.

"I can wash clothes, clean the house, and also our parents use clean water for cooking. This has contributed to high standards of hygiene with minimal sickness experienced. Our parents [are] no longer spending money in seeking medication, thus it has contributed drastically to development."

With the standard of living increasing around him, Hero now has his eyes trained toward his upcoming goals.

"[I] am also happy I [am not] absent looking for water and this has enabled me to improve academically," Hero concluded. "As a pupil, my focus will be concentrating on academics for [a] better future."
