A Year Later: Clean Drinking Water!

Fudia S., 13, recalled what life was like in Sangoya Community before her community’s well was rehabilitated last year.

"[I] am a student, and before this time, we were suffering to fetch water. The student[s] sometimes [were] late to go to school, and our teacher sometimes punish[ed] us for going to school late. We were covering [a] far distance to fetch water to launder our clothes and wash our body before going to school," Fudia stated.

But life is much less strenuous for Fudia and the other students and community members in Sangoya now.

"We now go to school on time, and the construction of this water point has helped us greatly to do our work on time. We [can] now drink clean water and launder our clothes after school hours. We thank you for helping us in this village," she continued.

Having ready access to water from the borehole well has made a difference for Fudia, allowing her to use safe water for bathing and washing her clothes. Fudia no longer has to worry about getting punished in school for being late because her journey for water is now much shorter.

"From the construction of this water point, it makes us to do our work on time. We now drink clean water, and it makes us healthy, and we are very much happy to have this water point in our community,"

Thank you for helping Fudia access clean water and making it possible for her to accomplish her goals.

Right now, there are others just like her in neighboring communities that desperately need safe water access. Your support will immediately go to work to provide a clean water project - and we can’t wait to introduce you to the next person you’ll help.

Fudia.
