The community members that live in Mukangu used to face long lines waiting for water, which made everyone frustrated.
"The water was open to any form of contamination, making it dangerous to all of us. The path to the spring was in a very bad state, and climbing uphill with the water was hectic. Whenever one thought about going for water to the spring, it felt like a big punishment," said 12-year-old Emily K.
But last year, the spring was protected, and since then, collecting water has been easier and less burdensome for people.
"The water is clean, the stairs are safe, and getting water from the spring is an easy task. [I] am now able to get water early before I go to school," continued Emily.
"[I] am saving a lot of time, which I use for other beneficial activities. Having one pair of uniforms, [I] am also able to wash it daily and go to school with clean uniform daily," concluded Emily.
