A Year Later: Children Have Water Access!

January, 2022

A year ago, your generous donation helped #22 Mission Road Community in Sierra Leone access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Katty. Thank you!

A Year Later: Children Have Water Access!


Katty K., 14, said, "I used to go to the nearby clinic to fetch water, but sometimes they locked the well on me, and I had to go [into the] neighborhood to look for water, which was very stressful for me."

Since the well installation on Mission Road, life has been different for Katty. "I am very happy as a child to have access to clean and safe drinking water in my community. At least nobody can stop me from fetching here again because it belongs to all the community people, especially the school-going children. I am very happy, and may God bless your organization."

Katty concluded by saying, "Having access to clean and safe drinking water in any home is a great achievement."
