A Year Later: Clean Water, Big Dreams!

Bilal O., 11, recalled what life was like in Eluche Primary School before his school’s well was installed last year.

"I used to get tired [from] carrying water from home to school every day. I never liked it at all," Bilal shared.

But life is much more comfortable for Bilal and the other students at Eluche Primary School now.

"I can easily access water for drinking, and even cleaning whenever I need to. I am no longer worried about [the] mornings [like] when I used to carry water to school. I am happy that I can sit in a clean environment and concentrate on my studies," he continued.

Having ready access to water from the borehole well has made a difference for Bilal, allowing him to prioritize his studies.

"I plan to study hard so that I can pass [my] exams and achieve my dream of saving our family from poverty," Bilal concluded.
