A Year Later: Clean Classrooms and Dishes!

"Initially, we experienced a lot of challenges pertaining [to] water. Drinking water was not always available. Also, food couldn't be cooked well [and] our hygiene was very poor," said 16-year-old Cynthia M., describing life before our rain tank installation last year.

She continued, "We could [only] get water from the dam, which was not very safe. Agriculture students would have it rough, as they had to trek all the way to the dam in order to get water for their farms. This was time-consuming as well as a tiresome activity."

But things are different for Mukuku's students this year.

"Now life has become better. Learning has been improved as students do not waste time fetching water from the dam," explained Cynthia.

Students are now committing their restored time and energy to learn, which is worth celebrating!

"We are able to clean our environment, wash our classes, and our dishes too. Agriculture students enjoy their lessons even more as they know at the end of the day they will not need to walk so long to get water for their crops."

"As the school prefect (senior supervising student), I will make sure that more [students] plant trees. So far, we have had some, and [they] are currently doing well," said Cynthia.
